Love to read!! Know my librarians by name :)
Just finished " The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks " Not my usual subject of choice but an important read for our times. I will be thinking about this book and it's implications for a long time. Highly recommend it.
Cook books! - especially enjoyed Thomas Keller and Ferran Adrià. Can't say I understood all of it but found them super inspiring. From the chemistry of food to their work ethics, there was loads of great information. TK's explanation of how to properly dress a salad was so simple and makes a huge difference!
