I read HCHH first, on the heels of The Omnivore's Dilemma, probably a year or so ahead of EIW. Definitely a better reading order. One of the things I liked about HCHH is that is gives the consumer a much better sense of how to go about sourcing food outside of the conventional food markets. There are lots of good books out about making better food choices (organic, seasonal, and/or local) at supermarkets, but HCHH is the only one I know of that isn't focused on supermarket shopping, or even on farmer's market shopping.
