Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week, our theme is food. We’re supposed to be talking about books that make us hungry, but I honestly almost never take notice of food in books. So instead, I’m bringing you ten books that use food or food-ish words in their titles!
Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers: I love this whole series (the last couple books aren’t the best, but most of them are very fun)
Chocolat: One of the few books that has genuinely made me want to eat the food described within!
Eat Pray Love: I know, this book is cliche at this point, but there is so much weirdness about being a woman and one’s relationship to food that I think the idea of practicing indulgence deliberately hasn’t lost its power.
Kitchen Confidential: This is Anthony Bourdain’s first memoir, and it is what you would expect it to be…bursting with appreciation for food and life, irreverent, and rough around the edges.
The Hunger Games: I love this series, and the first one in particular is my favorite.
In Defense of Food: This one literally says food in the title. It basically boils down to an admonition to eat mostly whole/unprocessed foods.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s: The movie is lovely, but if you’ve never read the book I’d really encourage it! It’s quite short, more of a novella, but just wonderfully put together.
Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs: You can’t go wrong with Chuck Klosterman on pop culture.
The Grapes of Wrath: Grapes are food! Though this book is much more concerned with citrus groves in California (also, I hated this book).
The Cider House Rules: Cider is drink rather than food, but close enough, eh? I loved the movie in high school, which inspired me to pick up the book and I have loved it ever since.
