I like both food and history, so I’ve read quite a few books about food history. Since food is part of our lives in many ways, there are many approaches to the history of food. How we eat, what we eat, and our philosophy of eating have all changed over time. The books in this post explore those changes. I’ve picked books that I think are accessible to a non-academic audience, which look at the history of food from several angles.
I spend a lot of time thinking about food. I love to cook, to eat, and to feed people. Since I love to read, I also spend time reading about food. While I do read academic books about food (especially history), I also read a fair number of food memoirs. These books center the experience of food: growing, cooking and eating.
I have always loved reading Science Fiction and Fantasy (SFF); I loved exploring what it might be like to live in a completely different world. At some point I began to realize that the genres I loved didn’t always love me back.
We’ve all been in that “I want to read a very specific kind of book” mood and then had to go on a mini-quest through the wilds of the internet to figure out which books might hit the spot. Since books about stompy, badass queer ladies who kick ass and take names own one of the happiest places in my heart, I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time searching them out and now have a short list of all-time, hit-the-spot favorites to show for it. So, if that’s the mood you’re in, allow me to shorten your quest! If you want some Stompy, Badass Queer Ladies Who Kick Ass and Take Names (and really, who doesn’t?!), here’s what you should read.
Sometimes I have a great deal of sympathy for tiny Ben Savage in The Princess Bride when he doesn’t want to listen to “the kissing parts.” Sometimes, the kissing parts are the last thing you want. Whether it’s because you’re lonely or because of a recent heartbreak or because you like being single and wish authors would write books where it’s okay to be single, goddamn it, WE DON’T ALL HAVE TO END UP WITH SOMEBODY, OKAY or you know, whatever less reveling about me reason you might have, here a few books with little to no romance in them, thank god.
We are a place for teens and adults to hang out in a fun, respectful, and safe corner of the internet to discuss our lives and interests and the world around us. Founded with an emphasis on feminism, women’s equality is still an important theme in many forum discussions.
Everyone is encouraged to express opinions, ideas, and feelings regardless of age, race, or gender. We talk about everything here – books and movies, feminism and global politics, and what we ate for dinner last night. We’re a community, by turns silly and serious, sad and happy. All are welcome to participate by posting in the online message board. We hope you’ll join us!

Since I'm having Tamora Pierce feels tonight - if anyone who sees this was on Sheroes Central from ~2002-2006 when I was active, I was bookworm87 there in case anyone remembers?
