All month, Yum has been posting some great food writing in the site's summer reading series. For this week's Buzzworthy challenge, I wanted to put Buzz readers to the test to see what other drool-worthy food books you had on your shelves.
Here are the parameters: Fiction and non-fiction are both OK, but no cookbooks — though books that include recipes within their chapters are certainly welcome. To start things off, I've bookmarked Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, which Fit read recently and I just finished the other day. It's a well-written look at the very hot topic of eating locally, tracing Kingsolver's family's move to a farm where they raise much of their own food and buy the rest from their neighbors.
Just use Buzzsugar's cool bookmarking tool to bookmark your great reads online and tag them with the phrase food writing. I'll post some readers' picks here next week. You can also now make a list of your picks. Here are mine:

I'm a former chef and a total food dork that loves to read all things foodie. Here are a few of my recent reads that I have enjoyed.
1Can I just say that I adore this book! I am not quite finished and find myself savoring every page since I'm near the end. I love the fact that Barbara's husband bakes bread and that her children are involved with the writing of the book as well. I highly recommend it!
2I have added a few. does a book on starbucks count? they sell food...sort of
3hope i'm not too late. i'm thinkin of culinary school...and i love food..i just wish i didn't love it soo much that my cholesterol is off the charts but i'm getting better! anyways, not everything food entertaining comes off the tv so here are some food books I enjoy
