It’s National Cheese Lover’s Day, the holiest of holidays on the entire calendar. We’re joking, of course. But considering how much we write about cheese, it’s a wonder we’re even keeping Quirk Books HQ open today. To celebrate this tremendous (and ultimately very silly) day, here are some of our favorite books about cheese – and cheese lovers.

Literary French Fries

August 19th has been designated National Potato Day and really, could there be a more delicious holiday? Potatoes are a wonderful vegetable and can be prepared in a multitude of ways. You can boil them, bake them, fry them, mash them, roast them…ugh, man, do we want potatoes. The possibilities are endless!

French Fries are by far one of the most popular ways to serve potatoes and legend has it that they were first introduced in the United States by Thomas Jefferson. Supposed during his term as president, he requested that the White House chef prepare “potatoes served in the French manner” for a dinner party. 

Today we’re putting a literary spin on some french fries to bring you recipes inspired by books. The recipes below don’t list quantities, as you can use as much or as little of the toppings as you’d like.
