Welcome to Foodies Read 2016!
Do you love reading books about food? Do you want to find more recommendations of books to read and to sing the praises of books that you’ve loved?
You’re in the right place. Starting in January 2016, I’ll be taking over Foodie Reads.
We will still have a challenge levels and for those of us who don’t like to plan that much there will be an a la carte option.
Want to challenge yourself? Pick a level below.
Short-Order Cook: 1 to 3 books
Pastry Chef: 4 to 8 books
Sous-Chef: 9 to 13 books
Chef de Cuisine: 14 to 18
Cordon-Bleu Chef: More than 19
Don’t like to plan? Choose the a la carte option and let us know when you read a book about food.
What counts as a food book? Any genre – fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, etc. If food is a major part of the plot then it counts!
Each month I’ll have a new page for book reviews that you post. You can find the page for the month linked here and on the blog’s right sidebar. Each month will feature some posts from the last month. Posts will be pinned to Pinterest and publicized on Twitter to get the word out. Along the way there may be giveaways for participants.

I’m so lame! I came by looking to link my wrap up post and realized I’d never linked my sign up post! I just did. This is one of my favorite challenges. I’m excited to do it again in 2017. Thanks for hosting.
Hi, will you be doing this challenge again in 2017? I love doing this one.
Yes, I will be doing it again in 2017. It is a lot of fun!
I feel I found this link too late! I have so many cookbooks in my shelf and would love to read through them… will keep a watch on this space and participate in the next year… 🙂
You aren’t too late! You can link up any reviews that you post from now on. The link for each month goes up on the 1st of the month. We’d love to have you join in.
I finally got my sign up post done! Short Order Cook for me but I hope I’ll get more than 2 books done! Thanks for hosting.
