"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
By N. M. Kelby
Publication Date: November 7
From Amazon:
White Truffles in Winter imagines the world of the remarkable French chef Auguste Escoffier, who changed how we eat through his legendary restaurants at the Savoy and the Ritz. A man of contradictions—kind yet imperious, food-obsessed yet rarely hungry—Escoffier was also torn between two women: the famous, beautiful, and reckless actress Sarah Bernhardt and his wife, the independent and sublime poet Delphine Daffis, who refused ever to leave Monte Carlo. In the last year of Escoffier's life, in the middle of writing his memoirs, he has returned to Delphine, who requests a dish in her name as he has honored Bernhardt, Queen Victoria, and many others. How does one define the complexity of love on a single plate? N. M. Kelby brings us the sensuality of food and love amid a world on the verge of war in this work that shimmers with beauty and longing.

I never used to want to read books based on real people's lives, but I find myself doing it more and more lately. I may give White Truffles in Winter a try, if only for the great title.
That's a very interesting pick! Sounds good!
Wow this sounds great. Food and romance. Its nice to see a love triangle where there are two women and a man instead of two men and a women. Sound delish.
Please check out my WoW if you get a chance.
Excellent pick! I think I am going to love it.

Your pick sounds really interesting! I'm always looking for new YA lit to check out. I don't have a blog, but am looking forward to reading a book by a new author that I'm working with: (S)Mythology by Jeremy Tarr. It's a modern day fairy tale that is wry and whimsical, and tackles life...death...and the Underworld. The book is super cute and has sixty-four illustrations by artist Katy Smail, which really bring the main character Sophie to life. You can read the first three chapters and check out the illustrations at www.smythology.co.uk or check out the book on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/Shardcover. Enjoy!
Interesting choice, it sounds really cool! Here's mine: http://tiny.cc/mptmm
