What's Cooking?
Happy Tuesday! Today we are talking about book which feature food in some way. I do seek them out, but these books tend to find me. I must admit, they feature such wonderful descriptions that they leave me hankering for whatever they were describing.
- Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe by Heather Webber - Magical pies
- Elizabeth of East Hampton by Audrey Bellezza, Emily Harding - Sour cherry muffins
- The Break-Up Pact by Emma Lord - Scones of all kinds
- Haunted Ever After by Jen DeLuca - Banana bread
- Mrs. Quinn's Rise to Fame by Olivia Ford - So many amazing things!
- The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert - Coconut cake and more
- The Funeral Ladies of Ellerie County by Claire Swinarski - Mid-western casseroles
- The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai - Lots of amazing foods
- Effie Olsen's Summer Special by Rochelle Bilow - So many things!
- Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams - Pastries

It's kind of weird, but the Inspector Gamache series (mystery/thriller) actually has a lot of really good food descriptions - they are always talking about what they're eating in the town's cafe!
ReplyDeleteI love books that talk about all this great food that I may have never eaten. It makes me want to try a lot of new things.
DeleteThey indeed seem to find you Sam! Great list!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love when there's a cooking theme in a book. Bakeries are always fun.
ReplyDeleteI am such trash for baked goods, too
DeleteEffie Olsen had so much food that sounded amazing! I should go back and write down a few of her combinations to try.
ReplyDeleteIt was a definite epic food adventure
DeleteI do love when a book features food, but it's not always helpful with my self control.
ReplyDeleteSince it's fictional, I do ok with it. HA!
DeleteYou remembered some good ones! The first one I thought of was Sadie on a Plate by Amanda Elliot.
ReplyDeleteCooking competition books always feature so many fun and delicious dishes.
DeleteNo surprise here, but I love books with food, cooks, or family recipe type stories.
ReplyDeleteIt is no surprise. I love seeing all your food experiments.
DeleteWhen this prompt came up, I immediately thought about cozy mysteries, but I have read so many other books about food as well. Thanks for the reminder about The Funeral Ladies, I had forgotten about that one.
ReplyDeleteCozies do tend to have some great food.
DeleteI love when a book character is a foodie. Or when food plays a prominent role (family meals, a restaurant/bakery setting, etc). I love that the Swinarski book featured mid-western casserole. So Americana. :)
ReplyDeleteThe book was set in Wisconsin, so very midwestern.
