Stores dedicated to food literature have existed for decades, but the demand for cookbooks has surged in the past few years. BookScan data shows that cookbook sales grew 8 percent year over year between 2010 and 2020. Growth continued in 2021, with cookbook sales for baking books rising by 42 percent from the previous year, a number probably buoyed by the pandemic baking craze.

Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged.  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

When a clown moves into a palace, he does not become a king. The palace becomes a circus. -Elizabeth Bangs, writer

I've slowed down over the past couple of years, but I'll be buying Steve Sando's book later this week from a local bookstore -- not a cookbook store, but they have an impressive selection.
