DIGITAL DISH
Edited by Owen Linderholm
Press for Change Publishing, $19.95
Lafayette resident Linderholm says he had a revelation the first time he read a food blog. “[It] was some of the most interesting writing about food I had ever come across,” he writes of his web discovery. His book gathers exclusively from blogs, and some entries read more like comedy monologues than recipes.
