Essential Foodie Reading

I signed up for the SlowFoodForum today and found the following great list of food books in the introduction post.  They have listed them as essential reading for SlowFood enthusiasts.

I’ve read a couple of these so far :) Guess I’ll have to go shopping to find some of the others:
