I am reading Vitamania: Our Obsessive Quest For Nutritional Perfection by Catherine Price
It is a non fiction book about vitamins and nutrition. This is the fifth non fiction book I read for the AtY Challenge. I never thought that would happen but I have been on a non fiction mood the last month.

What are you reading this week? The Orange Girl, by Jostein Gaarder
What is the connection with food? The girl in question is carrying a large bag of oranges, and oranges play a large part in the story.
What is your all time favourite food? Oh jeez...I love pretty much all food. If I had to pick a dish right now though, I'd probably go with paella.

This book disarmed me, I don't know what I expected going into it but I got something I hadn't anticipated. This is such a simple book - a son is given a letter written to him by his father in his final days when the boy was just a toddler, which contains the mystery of his father's first love. But the simplicity is deceptive. I had expected to read about loss and love, and there is certainly that. But this is almost a smoke screen to the core of this story, which is to ask a big question about the point of existence. Especially considering that I was initially uncomfortable with where this story was headed, given the father's obsessive tracking of a woman he'd barely met whom he'd decided was his soul mate, I'm glad I stuck with it. The themes of fairy tale and whether pleasure is worth the pain of inevitably having to lose it all transformed this from an unrealistic love story into something much deeper.

Just read The Dinner and gave it 4*

- What are you reading this week? Sourdough
- What is the connection with food? The whole thing is about food and baking. It wasn't nearly as good as Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore
- What is your all time favourite food? I will eat anything. My favorite is whatever is in front of me. Neapolitan pizza, tuna sashima, alpaca steak, potatoes in all forms.

For anyone who likes long, epic fantasy novels with very diverse characters, The Priory of the Orange Tree also matches the requirements.

I really enjoyed that book and definitely second the recommendation.

What is the connection with food?
It is about a chef/baker who unwittingly is thrust into a cooking reality show.

What is your all time favourite food?
Oh, I can't answer this. It depends on my mood, but chocolate will always definitely be up there! And cheese! Those are my go-to comfort foods. But I will eat and enjoy any well-prepared dish.

I'm thinking of reading , which is an African novel about celebrating life and connecting to other people's humanity despite of a traumatic past of war and separation.

I read Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. It's maybe a bit of a stretch to connect it to food, but it does say The Hunger Games on the front cover, and it mentions food quite often in the story.

My favourite food is potatoes, in all their forms, closely followed by cheese. I'm also a big fan of Jaffa Cakes and jellybeans. I could probably happily exist with nothing but those four foods, as long as I had coffee as well.

What is the connection with food? There is a pumpkin on the cover, and the victim dies in an apple-bobbing tub.



What is your all time favourite food? That's a tough one. Pizza is versatile and delicious, so I'll go with that.
