INCOMPLETE!
I didn't come anywhere close to finishing this challenge this year! I only read two food-related books, far short of my usual stack. I hope to make up for the loss in 2016.

WEEKEND COOKING
This is one of my favorite challenges! I read French Women Don't Get Fat a few years ago and enjoyed it even though I didn't love the authors voice. I should reread it. Good luck! I look forward to your reviews on these. Great books!
ReplyDeleteInteresting selection. Cheers from Carole's Chatter
ReplyDeleteI've heard about the French Women Don't Get Fat one...would be interested to hear your thoughts on it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteThis challenge always makes me want to reconsider my "no challenges" stance. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteLike JoAnn, this challenge is the one I consider joining. I love MFK Fisher and I enjoyed French Women Don't Get Fat. I'm looking forward to watching your progress.
ReplyDeleteI don't do well with the challenges I already do, but this one does sound intriguing! Some of your possible selections seem a little daunting to me, so good luck!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun challenge, I added a 'foodie fiction' category to my Eclectic Reader Challenge this year :)
ReplyDeleteHappy cooking!

I signed up for this challenge too! Stuffed by Volk and Dumas on Food seem particularly interesting. I'm really looking forward to hearing about what folks think of these books. I don't know anyone in "real life" who reads food books!
ReplyDeleteFrench Women Don't Get Fat was more interesting, to me, as a book about the French than about eating well but I'm glad I read it.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this challenge. I didn't read many food books in 2014, but I'm hoping to read more in 2015.
