Food glorious food
You may have seen the new "deadwood" version of Read Street, a Sunday Baltimore Sun column with a near life-size photo of Nancy and me. (I'm still bitter that she wouldn't pay for me to spend a day at the salon before the shoot.) As we mentioned in the column, this week we’ll discuss books about food. And not just the classic Better Homes & Gardens cookbook we all grew up with. Foods have inspired modern classics such as Chocolat, social commentaries such as Fast Food Nation and the 2002 Pulitzer Prize-winner Empire Falls, a work that focuses on the history and future of a family and the place it calls home, with a diner backdrop.
We'll also give away food-themed books, including Tim Stark's Heirloom: Notes from an Accidental Tomato Farmer, which Kirkus Reviews described as a "lovingly crafted memoir about the author’s days producing organic veggies on his small farm in Pennsylvania Dutch country." Stay tuned.
