New Book Talk Booklist - Tender Vittles

A new book talk booklist has been added to the BookGuide site. Based on Scott C's presentation at the Gere Books Talk series on November 5th, this Tender Vittles booklist includes over 30 books in the categories of cookbooks, culinary biographies, and books dealing with the history of food and/or the food industry.
