Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
If you're reading Slashfood right now, chances are that you're a foodie. In my experience, if there's anything a foodie likes besides eating/cooking, it's reading a book about eating/cooking. These are a few of the books I consider the best cooking books, but we all have strong opinions on this subject. What are some of the cooking books that you think should be on the list?
1. Larousse Gastronomique , the classic food encyclopedia.
2.Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking
3. Cookwise (I can't wait for Bakewise) From Shirley Corriher
4. Julia Childs' classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking
5.The Bread Bakers Apprentice by Peter Reinhart
6.Jeffrey Hammelman's Bread: A Bakers Book of Recipes and Techniques
7. The United States of Arugala is a history of American foodie-ism by David Kamp
8. In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan

I'd also recommend at least *one* of the Webbers' grilling guides, and What to Drink with What You Eat: The Definitive Guide to Pairing Food with Wine, Beer, Spirits, Coffee, Tea - Even Water - Based on Expert Advice from America's Best Sommeliers. There's another reference book that I can't quite remember right now...
