I liked Bake the Bread, Buy the butter by Jennifer Reese. It's a cookbook, but it's a fun read. She examines what to cook from scratch and what to just go ahead and buy.
By "read" I mean I read the parts that I was interested in. Not so interested in curing meats, didn't go there.
She's a good writer, recipes look interesting. Might even buy a copy to keep on my shelf.
My other favorite cookbook to read is Fannie Flagg's Original Whistle Stop Cafe Cookbook. Good Southern cooking and good solid writing. There are days when I have no intention of cooking any recipe in the book but I'll pull the book off my shelf for a good laugh.
