The Zuni Cafe Cookbook, Judy Rodgers
Wow. What a wonderful read, and what wonderful food. Reading this makes me want to go to Zuni much more regularly, to try so many things. I now love her signature roasted chicken at home, and quite like the bread salad. (I don't often like bread salad.) I plan to try the ricotta gnocchi, and so many other things this summer... Rogers is an excellent writer, and her recipes are often methods with stories, which is exactly the kind of cookbook i like to have around to inspire me these days. HIGHLY recommended.

Jenny and the Jaws of Life, Jincy Willett
Yes, yes. We bought this because David Sedaris told us to. We read it because David Sedaris told us to. But i enjoyed it because the stories were good, not because David Sedaris told us to! Cynical little downbeat/upbeat stories. Somewhat hit and miss, but some complete jewels. Go for it.
