Lately, I've been thinking about the relationship between two things that make me very happy: books and food. So when the Book Maven mentioned The International Edible Book Festival on April 1st, I got very excited. Looking at the gallery of previous creations makes me feel both hungry and creative. I'm having a little trouble finding events in my area for this year; the official site seems to be behind due to the death of founder Judith Hoffberg. But I'm sure I'll be celebrating in some way.
Here are some other links on food and books that I enjoyed:
Literary Quotes on Food
Serious Eats Discusses Food in Literature
And a similar discussion on Chowhound
So which books made you hungry/gastronomically curious? (I credit Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy with making me give mushrooms a second chance.)
Also, has anyone read the literature/food journal Alimentum? I'm intrigued by the idea behind it.
