We've already talked about this book, but a friend told me she finished this in a day.
by Jeffrey Eugenides
This was the book club selection last month at work, but I'm always in the middle of some other book when they have their meetings. No matter -- now I have several recommendations from co-workers that this is a good read.
Food Rules
by Michael Pollan and Maira Kalman
I've already told the Hubbs that I want this book, because hello? Food writing + illustrations by Maira Kalman. Yes.
Lucky Peach
The first issue on ramen had recipes, travel stories about hitting up noodle shops in Japan, and a panel of chefs ranting about the modern food scene. If you love No Reservations, you want a subscription to this magazine. NOTE: This is a food magazine for readers and adventurers, not for people who want 30-minute-meal ideas. (Not that there's anything wrong with a 30-minute-meal recipe -- I use variations on them all the time -- but don't look for it here.)
I've never seen this magazine in person, but based on the gorgeous design and the website, I want it. For example, there's a recipe for a "red, white and yellow bowl" that cures hangovers. You just top steamed rice with two eggs, some sriracha and scallions. Doesn't that sound easy and tasty?
Not only do I want to read this magazine, I want to become the effortlessly cool, chic, creative women that are featured within its pages. British, printed on thick paper, with beautiful black-and-white photography.
PS - Also, everything on the New York Times "best books" list.
