I really thought this was going to be an easy month. I love to eat, I love to cook, and I love to read about both. Sigh. Nope.
So, next on the failure list -- Alice, Let's Eat by Calvin Trillin. Hilariously funny book about iconic and little known places to eat all across America by the renown New Yorker columnist. This was the book that got my DW and I to rearrange our trip from NYC to California to make sure we went through Kansas City to eat barbeque at Arthur Bryant's. Price is $11.99, so almost within budget. But available in the UK or Australia? Nope. 
Wait, got it!

Charlie, there is definitely a conspiracy out there against food books, especially when priced in Canadian dollars. At least I added several delicious-sounding finds to my TBR.
Here are some of the other books that looked interesting to me:
- Anything by Ruth Reichl, the above mentioned by Charlie as well as
Save Me the Plums
-
The Food Explorer: The True Adventures of the Globe-Trotting Botanist Who Transformed What America Eats by Daniel Stone
-
Sous Chef: 24 Hours on the Line by Michael Gibney
-
The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen by Jacques Pepin
-
The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais *I highly recommend the movie based on this book starring Helen Mirren*
-
The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister
-
Honey and Venom: Confessions of an Urban Beekeeper by Andrew Cote
