What a nice cookbook! The material is well written and presented in an easy to follow manner. I look forward to trying out several of these recipes.

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read and review this book. To Drink and to Eat is a graphic novel cookbook. You don't get to see a cookbook in graphic novel form often, and it's great. More books and cookbooks should be made into graphic novels. The art style was beautiful and I liked the recipes shared.

The book did not live up to my expectations. Probably for a YA audience but definitely expected richer content from the description. I have no idea what the previous volumes were about.

Loved the illustration and the way the recipes were presented. Such a fun and original way to include story and memories in each recipes

Not as good as the previous volumes.
This is a bit too self-referencey for my tastes. Some of the ~charm~ of the last volumes are missing in this work.
While we do get some lovely recipes, stories, and tips there's something missing from this recent volume.

Cute concept that I think would appeal to a lot of teens and young adults. Combining a graphic novel with a cookbook is unique and I think a lot would like this.

I received a free e-copy of the book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I honestly didn't know what I was expecting from a cookbook in the from of a comic. But probably not what I got with this book.

I liked the idea of a recipe presented in a comic format but found the exection lacking - I didn't care for the drawing style. Some of the jokes were funny, but the majority of them left me indifferent.

I don't think I will be picking up any ofn the previous volumes of this series.

'To Drink and to Eat Vol 3' with story and art by Guillaume Long is another outing in the world of a Parisian food columnist.

This time around the author has some fame, so there is quite a lot of self-referential humor, some things work better than others. The usual elements from the first two volumes are here like recipes and trips with friends and food.

I like this series, but I liked the first two volumes quite a bit more. Once the book settles in and stops making fun of itself, it got better, in my opinion.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

To Drink and to Eat is a cookbook blog meets a comic book. I love themed cookbooks and cooks that have recipes tied to a story. This book was somewhere in between those. The recipes aren't labeled like a cookbook and there really isn't a continuous story. It does remind me a bit of the Science Comics. There is a lot of information. I feel like there isn't enough information to recreate the recipes, especially for someone like me who is not experienced with cooking. Maybe someone who enjoys cooking would enjoy this more.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

I had high hopes based on the description of this book. I am sad to report all my hopes were dashed. There were several issues with this book. I will admit I did not read the previous 2 books in this series and after reading this one I have no will to. Since it is both a graphic novel and “cook” book you don’t have to read the whole thing or even in order, but I tried to so I could review it completely.

First issue was the font; there was no reason to go back and forth from print to cursive and back again. Pick 1! The cursive font itself was hard to read and I found myself often reading words and sentences over again to try to make sense of the scribble.

The conversations with Mr. Publisher, Joel Rebochon and the aruthor himself “the foodie” himself I found dry. Not funny at all, and no real helpful information most of the time. I also didn’t like that it often interrupted the actual recipes.

The recipes themselves were terrible. If, like the book suggests, you just have to like to cook, want to improve your cooking, this book is not very useful.

They didn’t give good directions or measurements. For example step 1 in Skate with Black Butter Sauce is to literally begin peeling carrot and onion and cutting them however and put into a stockpot or saucepan and add cold water???? I feel most recipes give a bit more guidance like 3 carrots or 1 large yellow onion…Then later in the same recipe it says add some drained caper and parsley into the pan, whatever quantity you want. !?!?! That's for the recipe to tell me. I realized cooking is very personal but I don't know what this is suppose to taste like, give me some guidance like, capers can be a bit salty so watch how much you use, try starting with x amount then taste it and if you need to adjust you can do it accordingly. This style is not for the beginner cook at all. The actual recipecs I didn’t think were standard or common recipes or ones I should keep in my back pocket like the book suggests. There is not a recipe in here I would want to even try to make even if they had better directions.

Also considering the book was titled To Drink and Eat I assumed there would be a recipe or 2 for a drink, smoothie or something refreshing. I was wrong. The only real mention of drinks was a few times he mentioned what he drank while traveling and eating out.

Overall I found this book to be falsely advertised. If you truly want a great graphic novel with an actual storyline, characters you like and want to know with recipes worth trying this is not the book for you.

Thank you to the author, Oni Press and NetGalley, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love cookbooks, and I also really enjoy graphic novels. This combination of the two is a bit uneven - I enjoyed the graphic novel part, i.e. the accounts of the author's travels, but did not find the recipes particularly well-done. As with Volume 2, the cover is fantastic, unfortunately the contents did not live up to my expectations.

This book is made for foodies that wish to learn more. You have to love it, as Guilane takes us through some rather simple recipes and the history of food. What is there not to love?

Many thanks to the author publisher and Net alley for a free ARC of this ebook.
I loved it. It's Bright, funny and totally absorbing. Great recipes.
5 stars

This is the first volume of To Drink and To Eat that I've had the pleasure of reading and it was absolutely enjoyable. The jokes are great, the recipes sound wonderful and the description of all of the ingredients is very educational. I would highly recommend To Drink and To Eat and can't wait to go back and read through volumes 1 and 2.

This book was very different than I expected. I hadn't read vol 1 or 2 so I have no context of the series. The book is colorful which is great but is also a bit chaotic and overwhelming to read. Some of the font decisions made it a bit hard to read.

I love food! I love comics! To Drink and to Eat seemed like an obvious home run choice for me. But I did not enjoy this. I'm not sure how anyone could use this as a guide when cooking. I found it hard to follow even as a reader.

#ToDrinkandtoEatVol3 #NetGalley.

I admit that I am reading this series out of order, as To Drink and To Eat Vol 3, is my first in the series. I am not a huge owner of cookbooks, I find I do not use them enough, but I do love anything in the foodwriting space. When I found this book on NetGalley I hoped for a docu-comic or food writing graphic novel. I was given just that!

My copy came in as a full color digital PDF at 164 pages. Guillaume Long's book is whimiscal and I appreciated the opening with "If I was a vegetable..." and expanding across all areas of food. If I was a dish, I personally would be over-cooked tahdig - crispy and nearly burnt - but delicious with some buttering up! I also really enjoyed that the book was broken up over the four season of the year and a manual that articulated the skill level required for each dish or preparation.

At times the book jumps topics all over the place, but I had a good chuckle at specific things, like parents and kids being forced to eat together early in the first 25 pages of the book. Is this the number one culinary cookbook I'd pull out when I need to cook immediately? No. But did it answer a lot of questions I had about food and was it presented in a way that's easy to understand, yes!

Thank you Net Galley for sending me this early reader copy!

Not many people "Read" cookbooks, but I do! I love when cookbook authors include anecdotes about making the recipe or why they like a recipe. This one is MOSTLY anecdotes about cooking and eating with some great recipes thrown in. It reads like a Graphic Novel so I feel like it would be great for a pre-teen just learning to cook, or a college student just out on their own trying to impress their friends as well as old cooks like me who have been at it for years but still look for new and unusual recipes. Thanks for the ARC Netgalley! Only giving it 4 stars as there aren't as many recipes as I would have liked, but this problem would be solved by just buying the previous versions!

Thank you to the Oni Press and NetGalley for the advanced electronic copy of this book. This book combines a graphic novel and recipes that readers can try for themselves. I liked the idea of presenting a cookbook in a graphic novel format. However, because it is part cookbook, I expected the images of food to be more appealing. The writing style did. It appeal to me, this making this book difficult to read.

Guillaume Long has collected a lifetime of experience in To Drink and to Eat. With volume 3, we get more comedy, social commentary and of course delectable recipes. Each page brings a food combination you may never have imagined but are masterful nonetheless.
