THE WINNER IS “WHAT SHE ATE” and we’ll start discussing it from September 15 to 30, 2017.

In The Rambling Epicure threads, it’s become clear that many of us like reading about food as well as cooking it, eating it, talking about it. With that in mind, it seemed like a sort of “foodies’ book club” (with apologies to those who hate the word “foodie”) might be an interesting thing to try. Jonell has a ton on her plate right now, and I’m always looking for an excuse to avoid work, so I’ll start off by moderating, but that’s just for convenience and for the moment.
As a beginning, we thought we would suggest four books. Pick the one you’d most like to read and discuss, vote for it in the comments, and on Friday, September 1, we’ll announce a winner. We’ll give everybody time to acquire and read the book, and we’ll open things up to chat and argument on Friday, September 15 and continue until September 30.
If there are other books you’d like to suggest, that would be great. Please note them in the comments and I’ll keep a list, then we’ll run the most popular suggestions for the next cycle.
For this opening cycle, please vote for ONE of the following:
- What She Ate, by Laura Shapiro
- Goodbye, Vitamin, by Rachel Khong
- Start the Fire, by Jeremiah Tower (also available as California Dish, in an older, cheaper edition)
- The Making of a Chef, Michael Ruhlman
Since this is our first attempt, please feel free to add any suggestions about dates, timing, books, and how might generally build this reading group together.
All these books are available as ebooks.

P.S. We are now taking suggestions for books for the next The Rambling Epicure Book-a-Month club in October.
