Welcome back to the show. We are so glad you are here, joining us for the book group discussion!

You can find our show notes page here, with links to all the books we shared, and links to the recipes for the beverages we enjoyed!

Each week we talk  about books and about different genres, and provide useful information for people who want to talk about books. There are so many books out there that it’s tough to be an expert on all of them. So we pick a new genre each week to chat about and hopefully provide you with some insight into what may be an unfamiliar genre! We want to help you find new books for yourself, and to be ready to share them with others.

This week we are chatting about food books! Food is always important, and can cover so many different aspects of life, so it’s a very full genre. If you like this, you should check out our episode 301 on Cookbooks. We are going to look at other areas of food this time, and that one was filled with all sorts of tasty books!

This week our returning Guest Host is Ariel Kirst, from Great River Regional Public Library. 

This week’s beverages have vegetables in them, and the recipes are from Food and Wine magazine’s website.

Food is such a huge topic, it’s almost impossible to really get your hands around this topic. We aren’t even going to try today! None of us are doctors or nutritionists, so we aren’t here to tell you about the best food – or even the best food books. Instead, we have some books to share with you about the ideas of food, food prep and the lives of chefs, how food mixes with culture, or how food and the environment interact. This is a fun genre, with so many possibilities to explore new ideas – and so many possibilities to find a great new food you might enjoy!
