are interested in cooking and or books is there are a lot of writers who have written cookbooks.

There's the Roald Dahl cookbook, the Rumor Garden cookbook, the Maya Angelou cookbook, the Pat Conroy cookbook.

What is in the Pat Conroy cookbook?

A lot of seafood.

You're kidding.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He has a really good method for bluefish, actually.

And these can be really fun and interesting to look at.

And a lot of these people care a lot about food.

And, of course, Roald Dahl's pros are as acid as you would imagine.

Yeah.

Another one I would say kind of walking the line between food book and coffee table book.

I've had very good success with Dinners to Gala, the most stunning book.

It's all Gala Dali's incredibly elaborate, absurd, over-the-top dinner party menus.

I have never pulled it together to make one, but I'm in.

I'm in for 2026.

I would go for Diaghilev's Empire, How the Ballet Russe Enthralled the World, which is about the Ballet Russe in Paris in the 1920s.

And it's really gossipy and it's really fun.

And you don't need to like ballet to enjoy it.
