I also enjoyed The School of Essential Ingredients, but not quite as much as you did, I think. When our children were younger, we read The Redwall Books to them. There are many more now, that I haven't read, so I can't vouch for the later ones. But the earlier ones were full of rollicking fun and always feasting on such delicious sounding ingredients that our mouths watered. <br />Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-47196781465126871112018-11-06T16:03:52.489-07:002018-11-06T16:03:52.489-07:00I loved the nonfiction book by Shauna Niequist cal...I loved the nonfiction book by Shauna Niequist called Bread & Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table with Recipes.

Now, I want to read all the others.<br /><br />The latest book I read which connects with food was, "The Apprentice, My Life in the Kitchen" by Jacques Pépin. I highly recommend it. <br /><br />Thank you, Bren for another lovely post!Sandra at Maison De Jardinhttp://whereinspirationblooms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-27656670480966505872018-11-05T22:21:19.303-07:002018-11-05T22:21:19.303-07:00Like Vee, like Debby, I am drawn to each one after...Like Vee, like Debby, I am drawn to each one after your enticing descriptions! <br /><br />I have not read <i>One Hundred Foot Journey</i>, but my girls and I loved the movie! <br /><br />Scooting off to see if my library has any of these titles . . .

It is lovely to read about food, but I have rarely read an entire book on food (cookbooks excluded). Not sure that “An Everlasting Meal” by Tamar Adler qualifies, but it certainly is a pleasant read.

My first thought of a book where food is a main character was Peter Mayle and his "A Year in Provence". He certainly feasted his way through the year in southern France!
