Struggles

I have been feeling a little set back with my original vision of exploring the history and cuisine of one region per week. The main problem; I CANT FIND THE RIGHT BOOKS! I though I had hit the gold mine with my last post and book search but nope. After reading further into the books I was lost. They had good history, and science, but nothing that I set out to learn. But I learned that, do I get a gold star? So basically this is what I have decided: I still am going to find out everything I can about those regions I posted, starting next week. But in the mean time I’m going to go on a wild book chase down to Powell’s in Portland on Monday! Which should be really fun, I love books. Especially cook books! Right now I have some great books and some great ideas I’m just missing some key pieces to my puzzle so please hang tight as I try to find everything I need to make my class and this blog run as smoothly as possible...

And I have a good feeling it will because today a friend handed me "The Food of France" by Waverly Root that just happens to have chapters dedicated to regional cuisine! Can you say perfect! I’m very excited about that.
If you have any book suggestions please comment and let me know, preferably by Monday!
Wish me luck!

By the way, this is a hard search. I have already accumulated a TON of books, but it is hard to sift through all the lovely French cook books and history of food books to find the ones of importance. Much harder than i ever would have anticipated...
