I’m currently reading How to Read a French Fry by Russ Parsons, and enjoying it so far. It’s food science in layman’s terms, basically, but presented in a fun, interesting way with recipes to demonstrate. It’s kind of like Alton Brown without all the cheesy props.

Have you read “Diet For a New America” by John Robbins? It’s a litle older but important book about diet and health. Two nf worthwhile reads are “Three Cups of Tea” and “Mountains Beyond Mountains.”

I learn the most from flavor and food from other people…one of my favorites is Martha Rose Shulman. She’s written some vegetarian books but she’s not gluten or sugar-free, nor is she dairy-free. She has, however, lived and cooked all over the world and you can learn about all types of cuisine through her wonderfully written books. I have spent so many joy-filled hours in my kitchen playing with her recipes. It sounds silly but I feel like I know her.
