Lately my obsession with food has gone beyond the kitchen and infiltrated my bookshelf. Ruth Reichl (second recent obsession) has written two great books that combine food and life, while discussing her time as the food editor for the LA Times and the restaurant critic at the NY Times: Comfort Me with Apples, and Garlic and Sapphires. I also learned that we share a birthday, which I hope hope is a good sign for my cooking! Reichl recommended author MFK Fisher, who's writing really amazed me. I was immediately drawn in to her tales of eating and cooking around the world during the second World War. The Measure of Her Powers combines short essays that she's written and is a great introduction to her work.
