We could have gone with the theme of fireworks, holidays, heat, pools, any other 4th of July regulars, but we decided on a universal one instead: Summer Food. All these books have something to do with cooking, eating, preparing or describing food. We've given you a bit a of fiction, a touch of non-fiction, more than a few cookbooks, and a classic thrown in for good measure. Enjoy!
Karen K.: You Can't Drink All Day If You Don't Start In the Morning by Celia Rivenbark. A few southern recipes served up with saucy southern essays sarcasm and social commentary.
Cary H.: Food, Inc. Can you handle the truth? Find out where your meat comes from!
