This book has a nice range of art, from the cartoonish to the more detailed. A pleasure to read across all of the panels.

If I was asked what the difference was between a cookbook and food writing, I'd hand over the "To Drink and to Eat" series. As the third book in this series, there's an assumption that the reader already knows about Guillaume Long, some of his peccadillos (beer and breaded fish being two), and that this is a translation from French.
For the returning reader, there is a final denouement for Burger King, amusing travel logs about a food convention in Madrid, and a visit to the French coast, and a lot of opinions.

If I would make a change in the book, I'd get rid of the Publisher (presented as a stereotypical 1970s "bad boss") sequence, but overall "To Drink and to Eat" is still amusing and informative.

Not really my favorite. It's a cartoon style book and the recipes are within the story so you need to read the stories to understand the recipe. It just isn't for me, not very fan of this kind of humor or cartoons. But the drawings are pretty cool. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

What a fun and entertaining way to present a cookbook. I loved reading through it and I can’t wait to cook from it. I do wish the recipes were a bit more interesting. Many of them seem very basic. However the art was great and the writing was fun and this is such a unique premise. This would make an excellent gift for a foodie.

A different approach to recipe writing indeed! Not a graphic novel, but a graphic cookbook.
Some sections work really well such as Guillaume's trip to Cambremer and tasting Calvados. It's a book to dip into to amuse and sometimes annoy. There are some great tips and recipes, all illustrated
I was left wishing I could read the French version as this translation is very much with the American reader in mind with many references and mentions I've never heard of. Is Guillaume really so blokey?

Thank you to Oni Press and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

To Drink and To Eat Vol. 3 by Guillaume Long is an innovative blend of graphic novel and cookbook. The book starts off with two pages of an illustrated poem where the author writes about what food he would be if he could be a food. Interspersed between humorous comics are cooking recipes that readers can try for themselves. One part of the humor is when an Oni Press (publishing) executive intrudes onto the pages in order to interject something that will make the book more marketable. The book is divided into several sections, which include meals that you can make during each season and culinary tips.

Overall, To Drink and To Eat Vol. 3 is a unique cookbook that combines humor comics with cooking recipes. I took off 1 star, because I didn't find many of the jokes funny. I took off another star because of the artwork in this graphic novel. I fully understand that the artist took a lot of time to create this book. In addition, the artwork reminded me of the comic art I've seen in newspapers, so it's pretty standard. However, for a book that is part cookbook, I expected the artwork of the food to be a bit more appealing. If the food looked better, it would have made me want to try out some of the recipes. If you're intrigued by the description or if you're a fan of unique cookbooks, you can check out this book when it comes out in February!

Font choice for speech bubbles 1/5
Ability to give reader second hand embarrassment 5/5

I will say this is an oddity in every way. Like the idea of presenting a cookbook being presented in this oddly satirical memoir-isc style is hard to really jump into. Especially since this book doesn't feign from trying to make you die from second hand embarrassment early on.

The sheer level of discomfort I felt at times was a bit much, but you can tell that food is something that Long is truly passionate for and it shows on nearly every page.
I actually learned quite a bit while reading this, but I honestly can't imagine recommending this book to someone, let alone purchasing it for someone.

I liked the second one better, there were more recipes and less stories, or at least that's how I remember it. As entertaining as this one is, it seems to lack something.

Il secondo mi era piaciuto di piú, c'erano piú ricette e meno storie o almeno cosí me lo ricordo io. Per quanto sia divertente anche questo, mi sembra gli manchi qualcosa.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

I actually forgot that I’ve seen and read volume two of this series. I’m afraid I haven’t changed my mind about the contents with this new instalment. The recipes look interesting enough and I liked the way they’re presented but everything else was just not for me.
