1.		Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper: A Sweet-Sour Memoir of Eating in China from W. W. Norton Price: $16.47 Customer Review: This is one of the relatively few books out there that I can say, without reservation, that I completely enjoyed to the least and last ... even the somewhat whimsical final chapter about the caterpiller. Others have already reviewed the book in considerable detail, so I'll just add a few short... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Unaccustomed Earth from Knopf Price: $16.50 Customer Review: Jhumpa Lahiri is a writer's writer. These stories are very romantic about missed loves. She uses stream of consciousness, changes of point of view, description, storytelling, and other writing techniques very well. I am amazed at her style. She writes what she knows. She is a Bengali... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto from Penguin Press HC, The Price: $13.75 Customer Review: This is a great book, though I expect most who will read it have already read Pollan's earlier books, and therefore will have already absorbed most of this information. I look forward to some fresh insights, or a new direction in his next book, as he has pretty much beaten the whole foods,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex from W. W. Norton Price: $16.47 Customer Review: I have read many of Stephen King's short stories, yet none of them could make me cringe the way this book can. It is disgustingly irresistable and once you start reading it's difficult to stop. This book discusses the sly ways that science has evaded the societal norms and researched the human... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World from Hudson Street Press Price: $6.99 Customer Review: I decided to read this book after hearing about it on NPR. I just had to know more about how Americas favorite fruit had control over much of the worlds great powers. Its awesome. I love all food and want to know as much about it as I can. I sure know a lot more about Bananas than I used to. I also... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Last Chinese Chef: A Novel from Mariner Books Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Nicole Monese has published 3 books, all superb. She spends years doing meticulous research on her subjects: food, porcelain and archeology all located in China. The books are rich in characterizations, history and poltics. She weaves an intricate tapestry of the past and present-day Chinese life.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		When You Are Engulfed in Flames from Little, Brown and Company Price: $17.15 Customer Review: David Sedaris is a talented writer, but his work in this tome is inconsistent. It all goes down smoothly, but never rises to the level of "Dress Your Children in Denim and Corduroy." Each of these short essays was previously published elsewhere and they don't quite come together as an anthology.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Lush Life: A Novel from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $17.16 Customer Review: Yes, this is a crime novel and the principal murder is shattering but it's also just one ingredient in a tragic stew of cops, thugs, and other walking wounded. The chief investigators find themselves hopelessly entangled in the lives of the victimized. A theme this author likes to explore. Price... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and Drink from Random House Price: $19.80 Customer Review: As a foodie, New Yorker fan, and lover of good writing (I'm a professional journalist/writer), this turned out to be one of my favorite books of ALL TIME. This book represented so many different eras in food and culture. A masterful collection of the best food essays and articles ever written.

10.		Serve the People: A Stir-Fried Journey Through China from Harcourt Price: $14.08 Customer Review: Lin-Liu's style of writing is so easy and inviting. I hope she writes more about travel in China and does a cookbook from her school.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
