Need to Read

A coming-of-age tale of fan fiction, family and first love.

In 1971, in a corner of Berkeley, California, a young Francophile named Alice Waters opened a small counterculture restaurant for her friends called Chez Panisse and launched an entirely new way of thinking about and serving food in America.

Who really invented the noodle? How had food and culture moved along the Silk Road, the ancient trade route linking Asia to Europe—and what could still be felt of those long-ago migrations?

From her childhood spent tap dancing in the Bronx, to her rise as the star of Laverne & Shirley, Penny lived by simple rules: “try hard, help your friends, don’t get too crazy, and have fun.”

While finding her own firm non, Druckerman discovers that children-including her own-are capable of feats she'd never imagined.

This book is a timeless creative bible for all those looking to succeed in life, business and creativity.

Eat is bursting with beautifully simple and quick-to-cook recipes, in a stylish and practical flexible format.

Judy Greer is taking pen to paper and in her honest, self-deprecating, and hilariously relatable way reminding us why she's not America's sweetheart but America's best friend.

You won't be able to decide whether to curl up and sink into the story or to head straight to the market to fill your basket with ingredients for Cider-Glazed Salmon and Pistachio Cake with Honeyed Apricots.

A whopping big celebration of the work of the late, great Nora Ephron, America’s funniest—and most acute—writer, famous for her brilliant takes on life as we’ve been living it these last forty years.

This is a great list and I can highly recommend "Bringing Up Bebe" and "A Homemade Life". I would love to read the Alice Water's book, too!
