Favorites this year are confessions of professional foodies humbled by an elusive genius and a toddler, respectively. The Perfect Chef by Todd Kliman and The Doughnut Gatherer by Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl.
(Oh, and foodwriters? You've been warned. You still want your madeleines? You can have your madeleines. BUT I WILL HAVE YOUR STARS! ONE FOR EACH PASTRY! Diane Roberts, you lost it for the team on p. 281.)

I'm amazed at how much I can enjoy reading about food. You'd think I'd get tired of it, but no. Fun stories reminding me of tastes, smells, and experiences I've had and adventures I'd love to take. I may prefer reading my favorite food blogs, but this is so much more portable.
Favorite essay is "God Loves You and You Can't Do a Thing About It," from [b:Spoon Fed: How Eight Cooks Saved My Life|7506982|Spoon Fed How Eight Cooks Saved My Life|Kim Severson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1267819744s/7506982.jpg|9691219].
