"To Drink and to Eat Vol. 2" is an absolute delight for anyone who loves food and humor. Guillaume Long has once again created a masterpiece that combines delicious recipes with charming illustrations and witty commentary.

From the very first page, I was drawn into Long's world of food and mischief. His recipes are simple yet sophisticated, and his anecdotes and musings add a delightful touch of humor to each page. I particularly loved the sections on wine pairing and food presentation, which provided valuable insights into the art of culinary appreciation.

But what truly sets this book apart is Long's illustrations. His whimsical and colorful drawings bring each recipe to life and make the book an absolute joy to read. I found myself constantly flipping back and forth between the recipes and the illustrations, admiring the intricate details and playful characters.

Overall, "To Drink and to Eat Vol. 2" is a 5/5 star book that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves cooking, eating, or simply appreciates good humor and art. It's a delightful journey through the world of French cuisine, and I can't wait to try out some of the recipes in my own kitchen. Thank you, Guillaume Long, for creating such a wonderful book!

So, I had an ARC of this since a million years ago (I'm not even being exagerated here) and had started it a few times but never actually gone past the introduction. It seemed interesting enough and a bit funny but I just never found the time. Well, now I did and it was what it seemed. I enjoyed reading (is it this the right word for comics?) this book, it shared a few interesting cooking facts and was funny enough to keep me engaged. Am I going to try the recipes? Probably not, even if I got hungry while reading.

It never occurred to me that a cookbook can be turned into a graphic novel. I loved the humor in it and the recipes look delish.

Making a cookbook into a graphic novel really upped the game of cookbooks.
In a time of being able to google any recipes how many of us have turned our back on our good 'ol cookbooks?
This is lovely piece, full of humour and love of food. Loaded with tips, stories and of course recipes this is a must for any food-lover in your life!

What a fun continuation of the 'To Drink and to Eat' series by Guillaume Long! The graphic style of this book is sure to draw you in and make you laugh time and again, all while regaling your with stories of travel and decadent recipes. The structure of this book follows the seasons and makes it easier for the reader to find a recipe for foods seasonally available. I for one particularly enjoyed the CSA adventure episode and captured my own anxieties around what will be included in a weekly CSA perfectly! Enjoy the fun ride that is this wonderful graphic novel!

I enjoyed this one just as much as volume 1. Great gift for foodies!

Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy of this book in exchange for my feedback.

Comic book lovers will most likely enjoy this series of books. It is a combination of a comic book and cookbook, although it doesn't have many recipes. This book is vey unique, and actually does contain a few excellent recipes. However, they are not written in a traditional manner which makes them a bit difficult to follow. While twos isn't a serious cookbook, it is a fun cookbook, and may appeal to some.

A very fun cookbook and comic book hybrid! This would make a great gift!

Thank you, Oni Press and NetGalley, for a digital ARC!

This is such an inventive format for showcasing a cookbook. Having the author pepper personal stories throughout recipes, a graphic layout, and the inclusion of French cooking and eating rituals that I could reflect on from my time in France made this book enjoyable. I could see many cooking enthusiasts or French teachers enjoying this format. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this ARC.

I thought I'm gonna find some real recipes here, but actually I enjoyed the comics so much and forgot about recipes. With his funny and honest way of talking, the author shows us how he lives daily. It is true that in France, they eat accordingly to the season. The French also take a good care of their placements: what animals should live where and what plants can flourish so well in the area, therefore with minimum amount of seasoning, french foods are usually tasty.

But enjoy the comics, and try his recipes if you have time. But mostly have fun reading the stripes.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* The first book in this series was cute, this one is even cuter! i wouldnt mind owning hard copies of these!

Unfortunately I did not enjoy this graphic novel as much as I thought I would. The main thing that ruined this book for me was the font. It was so small and the parts that were in cursive were almost impossible to read. The font was already so difficult to read and it didn't make it easier that there was just so much of it. I ended up skimming through parts of this book because there was so much reading with the illegible font. The recipes in the book were a bit more on the fancier end with fancier ingredients that I wouldn't normally buy so there were probably only around 5 recipes I would like to try. There was quite a bit of dry humour throughout the book though which made reading it not such a pain. Also this made me crave oysters like no other LOL. I also liked the bit at the end that suggests great kitchen gadgets to own if you're a foodie. Overall this book just wasn't my thing but if you like cooking and have a great set of eyeballs then you'll probably enjoy it more than I did :) I would rate this a 2.5/5.

I am a cookbooks junkie, and I want to read more graphic novel. When I saw this book, I thought it was perfect. Well.... It wasn't for me. I loved the humour, loved the stories, but reading recipes that I don't want to try just turned me off. It took me forever to read, and maybe it was because I read it digitally, but some of the font used it very difficult to read. I was always zooming on my iPad or having my head too close of the screen to be able to understand something... It felt wrong. Like I said, it wasn't for me, but if you like good humour, great recipes and graphic novels, you'll probably love this one.

Many thanks to the publisher for the complimentary e-copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is such a unique, fun cookbook. I love the style and the recipes are easy to follow. I would highly recommend this and intend to purchase it for a family member who I know will love this.

'To Drink and to Eat Vol. 2: More Meals and Mischief from a French Kitchen' by Guillaume Long with translation by Sylvia Grove is the second graphic novel in the series of food blog comics.

Like the first volume, this one is divided by season. A running bit includes a vegetable subscription that the author subscribes to and the recipe inspirations. The other is about how to make spaghetti carbonara the right way (and not get the carbonara police after you). There are longer pieces like a radio interview the author did. The book ends with a list of gift ideas for foodies and an index of the recipes.

I loved the first volume, but didn't love this one quite as much. It is still a really interesting idea and pretty funny.

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

I would like to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this ebook.

I did not read the first volume, but this could be read on its own. While I really liked the illustrations and the overall 'colorfulness' of it, some of the pages were very cramped making the dialogues very hard to read. I love French humor and so I enjoyed this book very much.

DNF, skimmed the end. Granted I haven’t read the first volume of this book, but with how uninterested I was, I don’t think I’m going to go back and see if that makes a difference. The panel layouts were monotonous, the text was uninteresting, and while there was some charm in the recipes, I just felt so bored the whole read.

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. However, this mashup of the two was not for me. I did not enjoy the middle-aged male author's sense of self-importance or sense of humor, nor did I find the recipes particularly well-done. I loved the cover illustration, which is what prompted me to request the ARC, but unfortunately the book did not live up to my expectations.

I love food and I love graphic novels so this one seemed like a no brainer for me to pick up. I read the first volume about a month ago, and recently read the newest volume courtesy of an ARC provided by the publisher. Like the first volume, this one is filled with lots of short 1-2 comics about the author's personal experiences with foods. There are comics focused on particular recipes and others focused more broadly, but all related to food in some way. Some of the bits in this were more interesting to me than others and as is often the case with food-related reads, the book triggered some cravings. Some of the comics in the collection didn't quite hit the mark for me and were just "kind of okay".

I will keep my eye out for additional works by Long.

To Drink and to Eat is all about how to cook food and how to improve one's culinary skills in a light-hearted way. The graphics in a few pages felt too busy. A physical copy of the book would have made it easier to read the small font. To Drink and to Eat is a good book to gift for food and graphic novel lovers.
