Hmmmm. Anything by M.F.K. Fisher, like _To Cook a Wolf_ or _Serve It Forth_

Calvin Trillin's _American Fried_ and _Alice, Let's Eat_, which are falling out your chair funny memoirs about eating by a chap who apparently has never met a piece of food he didn't like.

The late Nicholas Freeling was trained as a chef, and worked for years in French kitchens before turning his hand to full time writing. He did a lovely autobiography of his time spent as a cook called _The Kitchen_, and a followup volume called _The Cook_.
