If you've never read any, I recommend starting with A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg. It's a lovely memoir about cooking and baking, and includes a lot of great recipes as well. I also adore "Home Cooking" and "More Home Cooking" by Laurie Colwin. Ruth Reichl also has 4 great memoirs about different times in her life, all surrounding food. The first one is "Tender at the Bone," which I loved. One of the later books of hers is my favorite though, "Garlic and Sapphires." It's about her time as the food critic at the NY Times, and it's so much fun! I adore food writing! If you’ve never read any, I recommend starting with A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg.

Your review is really making me rethink that gap in my reading! Hmm – I haven’t really read many books ABOUT food – I just love books and food.

People just patiently wait and read or listen to music. I think it's the lines that are more unexpected - all of a sudden something you go to often with no problem has a long (or much longer than normal) line. Then you see people antsy, looking around, craning their necks trying to see what's happening. They do sort of seem like they have insider information. :) It’s true about some lines in New York. :) I think that New Yorkers deal really well when we expect a line – at the bus station for example.
