America Test Kitchen’s (@TestKitchen) “Kitchen Hacks: How Clever Cooks Get Things Done” (really good reference book for to save money and quality control) and “The Ultimate Burger: Plus DIY Condiments, Sides, and Boozy Milkshakes” (all kinds of burgers including meat-free). “VB6” by New York Times Food columnist Mark Bittman on adopting a vegan diet. “Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy” by Matt Stoller provides a historical look at industrial concentrations of power throughout the 19th and 20th century and Jeffersonian/Brandeisian reforms. “It’s Kind Of A Funny Story” by Ned Vizzini, an autobiography of a suicide episode (it was adapted to a film in 2010; the author later died by suicide in 2013). #bookreads #bookcloob #bookworm #books #digitalbooks @ocpubliclibraries @buenaparklibrary @fullertonlibrary 📚🤓 (at Fullerton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CESSGEIhZS9/?igshid=18l7urmduimvi
