Some books to nibble on

If you have already chewed up M.F.K. Fisher, Elizabeth David and Wendell Berry, and perhaps Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential, try food politics with Michael Pollan's noble works. Try The One Straw Revolution: an Introduction to Natural Farming by Masanobu Fokouka. I also love Oishinbo, one of the seven-volume Japanese manga recently released in the US. Written by Tetsu Karinya and illustrated by Akira Hanasaki, Oshinbo ("the Gourmet") it chronicles the adventures of young Shiro Yamaoka as he eats his way across Japan to create "The Ultimate Menu" .
