1.The Omnivore s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four MealsThe Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
from Penguin
Price: $9.60

Customer Review:
This book was very well written. Before starting, I was worried that it would be a rather dry read (after all, how much can you say about food?). Well, apparently there is an awful lot to say about food, and Pollan does a great job at making it interesting. He brings to light some of the problems... more info

2.On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the KitchenOn Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen
from Scribner
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
I think it's important to point out this book is realively small for the degree of degtail it contains. If you want to find out the answers to a great deal of cullinary questions without wading through highly verbose food science texts, then this is your book. It is certainly Europe centric.

3.The End of FoodThe End of Food
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
I am really enjoying this book. The current rice shortage and e-coli outbreaks were topics I wanted to better understand, and that's what got me interested (and it has certainly helped illuminate those topics for me). But I'm finding the whole thing fascinating. Each chapter is a... more info

5.Salt: A World HistorySalt: A World History
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
This book earned me the UberDork rating from anyone I told about it, but they are the ones who missed out. The writing is clear and makes for fun snippet reading. (Got 10 minutes? Pick it up!) The useless but fun facts mentioned by another reviewer are a big part of what kept me reading, but I have... more info

6.I m Just Here for the Food: Version 2.0I'm Just Here for the Food: Version 2.0
from "Stewart, Tabori and Chang"
Price: $21.45

Customer Review:
Alton Brown is a genius. His forward in the book explains that a recipe is analogous to a set of directions to a house, but what if there's a detour? Or what if you want to go somewhere else after? You're stuck. But now, what if you knew the whole map of the area, not just rote directions. That's... more info

from Melville House
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
I won't cover the same ground as Mr. Vannoni did. His review is spot on. I wish I had seen it before I bought this book.
Readers should know first that the book's title is cleverly misleading. The book is only tangentially about the unhealthy make-up of the modern diet and the agribusiness... more info

9.The Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese FoodThe Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food
from Twelve
Price: $16.49

Customer Review:
As others have said, Ms. Lee writes very well, and most of this was really interesting. But she has a total blind spot about fortune cookies, and for me, there was WAY too much stuff about trying to research exactly who invented them. When I realized that I was starting a THIRD chapter on this same... more info
