Interesting books about food

I've been reading some very interesting books about food recently, and I'm hungry for more (drumsnare).

The most recent book I've read is The Omnivores' Dilemma by Michael Pollan. Very interesting book about where we get our food from. I'm also planning to read In Defense of Food, also by Pollan.

Another interesting pair of interesting books are CookWise and BakeWise, both by Shirley O. Corriher. They really get in to the technicalities of cooking and explain why we do certain things, like punching down dough, and how things work. They also feature some great recipes. In that category, there's of course Harold McGee's classic On Food and Cooking. That's still on my list though.

What interesting books about food have you been reading recently?

I don't own many cookbooks, but a real good one if you're into Italian food and Sopranos is The Sopranos Family Cookbook: As Compiled by Artie Bucco.

For those of you that followed Sopranos, I'm sure you agree that the series was not only about mafia, psychology and curse, but also about food! In this book, you will find some interviews with the characters and, most important, a lot of recipes ranging from tomato sauce to zeppole. The book also includes beautiful photos from the episodes.
