When we’re not cooking, eating, wining or dining, we’re still always thinking about food. Now that summer is in full swing, what’s better than sitting by the beach with a great book that happens to also transport your tastebuds? As its not always practical lugging around our Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management, we’ve put together a list of great summer reads perfect for foodies and non-foodies alike. Paired with these fabulous summer outfits, these literary escapes are a great way to indulge the soul.
