Collection: Books about food

This is a broad category: from books covering a single culinary topic (like king cake or truffles) to food systems (like the awe-inspiring insanity of the modern American supermarket) to political economy (from the history of Madeira production to the foundations of American foodways) to the pure luck (or is it policy?) of existing on one side of the resource divide (and what to do about it). You might want a drink.
