I've been wanting to read Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal and Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip-Confessions of a Cynical Waiter. Both appear on the Food-Related Non-Fiction list. Here is hoping I can get one from the library.
can I get Racing Weight: How to Get Lean for Peak Performance approved - its about eating optimally for performance
Would Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip-Confessions of a Cynical Waiter work? It is on the Food-Related Non-Fiction list but isn't focused so much on preparation as on serving food.If not, my backup is Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal.

So will Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal (which was fantastic, by the way).

Andy wrote: "Ruth Reichl I assume books by this author will work?"I didn't go through all her books but her two most popular, Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table and Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise, work. If you have a different one in mind and have questions about it, let me know.

Alison wrote: "Would Fat Is A Feminist Issue work?Food And Drink > Food is listed on the main shelf."
The description of the book says it explores "our love/hate relationship with food." So, yes, that works.
