16 Things Food Editors Are Shopping For This July

"There's a bit of a voyeuristic thrill to What She Ate: Six Remarkable Women and the Food That Tells Their Stories ($27) by Laura Shapiro, a six-part biography that tells the stories of Dorothy Wordsworth, Eleanor Roosevelt, Eva Braun, and three other remarkable women through the food they did, and did not, eat. Not just a clever storytelling device (though it is also that), this dissection of diet is an telling window into the lives of these fascinating historical figures." — NP
