I’m not a great cook, and I don’t really bake. I don’t really enjoy it, although I’ve been trying to inch my way into the kitchen lately, with mixed results. But I love food, and love reading about food. Food memoirs, nonfiction books diving into an area of food or eating, and articles and essays that are criticism, review, or commentary. I also love comics, and to combine them is a real delight — it’s kind of the perfect pairing, really. Here are some to check out — but don’t read them on an empty stomach! For more comics and food, check out these delicious foodie manga and this post about cookbook-themed comics.
