The Language of Baklava, by Diana Abu-Jaber
A Bowl of Red by Frank X. Tolbert
A Glutton for Punishment: Confessions of a Mercenary Eater by Jay Jacobs
Stealing Buddha's Dinner, by Bich Minh Nguyenn
We Are What We Ate: 24 Memories of Food, edited by Mark Winegardner
I read a lot of cookbooks and foodie novels for escapism, but I would like to know more about the social history of food, hence this challenge for myself. I have just finished Diana Abu-Jaber's book above for the Cook the Books club, and I will be posting a review of that here and on my book blog, The Book Trout, in the next few days. Then, off to read about chili madness with "A Bowl of Red" by Frank X. Tolbert.
Lovely to have found this group.

Love the sound of The Language of Baklava, by Diana Abu-Jaber ;0)
What an excellent choice of books. I can't wait to hear about them and possibly read them. Welcome to the club.
Great list of books. Can't wait to see your reviews.
Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone. Just posted my Language of Baklava review and will start reading "A Bowl of Red" about chili and chiliheads, which will hopefully warm me up during our protracted bout of Arctic weather and snow every other day.
