So in my reading app I’m completing reading challenges, my one prompt is read a nonfiction book about food or drinks, can’t be a cookbook but can be a chef’s memoir. I don’t know where to look so I hopped on Reddit. Please help me and suggest some nonfiction food books.

[Ingredient: Unveiling the Essential Elements of Food](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/622dca34-a0d0-450b-be9f-abfc2f6ca030) by Ali Bouzari
Maybe try Dinner with Edward by Isabel Vincent
There’s 3 that I’ve read that immediately come to mind.
*My Life in France* by Julia Child. It’s about her life in France and how she and her co-authors wrote their first cookbook.
*The History of the World in 6 Glasses* by Tom Standage. Standage tells the history of humanity by talking about beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea and cola. Pretty interesting read.
Mark Kulansky’s *Salt: A World History*. Literally the history of salt, how it’s been made/harvested and used throughout history. This was my first foray into micro histories and I was hooked!
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver (and family)
