Who isn’t glad that somebody else took on the task or recreating Julia Child’s cook’s canon and documenting her tasting triumphs and tragedies? The success of the film version of Julie and Julia has readers’ mouths watering for more. Fortunately, many of us love reading about eating nearly as much as doing it. Here’s where you can steer hungry readers:

• Deep Dish by Mary Kay Andrews
• Last Bite by Nancy Verde Barr
• The Food of Love by Anthony Capella

Memoir/Food:

• Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes

And everything by Laurie Colwin. Whether it’s about food or not. She’s lovely.
