I don’t know about you, but this week between Christmas and New Year, is one of my favorite times for reading. I’m not a big novel reader, it’s usually all things food that attract my interest. I’m particularly interested in food politics and it’s great brain food – especially at this time of the year. I’m keeping this post short and sweet – the following are fabulous books – some serious reading, but what we really should be hearing about. If you want something a little lighter – start with #4. If you want to go straight to the heart – go for #3.
Wishing you happy reading and a deeply joyful new year, with many blessings – x jude

Dear Jude,
Thank you, for being an inspiration. I love your books and way of cooking.
Best regards, Guusje Wannet, The Netherlands
That’s a good list of reads. I haven’t read #3, so I’m just curious—why do you say it goes straight to the heart?
