Episode 509: Books with Food

Welcome back to the show. We are so glad you are here, joining us for the book group discussion! Check out our show notes page right here. This week we are chatting about food books! Food is always important, and can cover so many different aspects of life, so it's a very full genre. If you like this, you should check out our episode 301 on Cookbooks. We are going to look at other areas of food this time, and that one was filled with all sorts of tasty books! This week our returning Guest Host is Ariel Kirst, from Great River Regional Public Library. Each week we like to connect the theme of our books with our beverages, and we each came prepared with our own drink to enjoy while we talk about our books. You are an important part of this book group, so if you don't have a beverage go ahead and get one now. Each of our beverages will have a recipe or a link on our episode page, so you can try them yourself! Food is such a huge topic, it's almost impossible to really get your hands around this topic. We aren't even going to try today! None of us are doctors or nutritionists, so we aren't here to tell you about the best food - or even the best food books. Instead, we have some books to share with you about the ideas of food, food prep and the lives of chefs, how food mixes with culture, or how food and the environment interact. This is a fun genre, with so many possibilities to explore new ideas - and so many possibilities to find a great new food you might enjoy!
