Good Books, Good Food

If I hadn't just spent all of my money on making myself look/smell heavenly - not that I need too much help in those departments, you know, but every little counts - I'd definitely invest in these lovely new editions of books on food by Penguin.

"In the Great Food Series, Penguin brings you the finest food writing from the last 400 years, and opens the door to the wonders of every kitchen."

How pretty would these be on the shelf in your kitchen?  And what inspiration you'd glean from them!  Hm, now I'm getting a bit hungry...
