You Say Tomato, I Say Tomato

Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World by William Alexander

January 20, 2023 by yesknopemaybe Leave a Comment

Do you ever read a book’s marketing summary after finishing a book and wonder what in the world they’re going on about? The teaser for “Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World” by William Alexander starts off like this: “The tomato gets no respect. Never has. Stored in the dustbin of history for centuries, accused of being vile and poisonous, appropriated as wartime propaganda, subjected to being picked hard-green and gassed, even used as a projectile, the poor tomato is the Rodney Dangerfield of foods. Yet, […]

On eating compassionately

The Happy Vegan: A Guide to Living a Long, Healthy, and Successful Life by Russell Simmons, Chris Morrow

September 11, 2022 by Halbs Leave a Comment

It’s a natural time for change: new school year, new season, new job. So, I decided to freshen up my routines across the board. Since I’ve felt sluggish, lately, I’m trying to switch up what I’m eating. Libraries have like a million food books, so I just ran through that aisle and threw all of them in my cart, Supermarket Sweep-style. The Happy Vegan had a great title, so it’s the first one I read. It’s written by mogul Russell Simmons. I don’t know much […]

The bond between mother and daughter, the joy of shared food, and the devastating loss of a parent – CBR14 Bingo: Heart

Crying in H-Mart: A Memoir by Michelle Zauner

July 30, 2022 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

CBR14 Bingo: “Heart” –  In this heartbreaking memoir, Michelle Zauner shares her love for her mother and their connection through a love of food. Last year I heard on NPR an interview with Zauner, a Korean American, when she released her debut book, Crying in H-Mart: A Memoir.  I was instantly interested in small part because I too shop at H-Mart, a Korean grocery chain in the United States.  Then I became engrossed by listening to Zauner talk about her mother’s death and food.  I […]

Gouda Friends

Doesn’t get any feta than this!

Gouda Friends by Cathy Yardley

April 5, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

After adoring Love, Comment, Subscribe, I knew I had to read the next book in the series ASAP. Friends to lovers is a favorite trope of mine, and seeing that it involved two other members of the Nerd Herd? I was so excited! And it definitely lived up to the first book, full of humor, romance and a thoughtful exploration of some of the hurdles facing late 20-somethings. While this is the second in a series, it can be read as a standalone. “I am […]

“I’m as God wants, No more, no less”

From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home by Tembi Locke

February 17, 2022 by jomidi Leave a Comment

From Scratch, a charming memoir by Trembi Locke, is a wonderful reflection on life, death, family, food, and Sicily. Trembi, a fairly successful actress whom I had never heard of, is a smart black Texan, who falls in love with a Sicilian chef while studying abroad in Rome.  This memoir covers their meeting when she is young,  the expanding of their family when they adopt a child, his losing battle with cancer, and her coming to terms with widowhood. Her husband’s family initially refuses not […]

I’m Raven and I was cravin’ a good book, but sorry to say my time of day was just took

Game of Scones: From “The Doodle Boy” Joe Whale (Bad Food #1) by Eric Luper

February 16, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Game of Scones: From “The Doodle Boy” Joe Whale (Bad Food #1) by  Eric Luper and Joe Whale on illustrations has awkward text, an awkward storyline, and art that is off putting. Yet, due to the offbeat humor that turned me off to this story of puns, allusions to pop culture and school politics, could be right for the right seven up reader. However, due to the amount of text (and even with the mostly short chapters), this might put off a reluctant reader. I […]
