Books and food–what a delightful partnership! Food is often mentioned in books, and here’s a list of books in which food and the people who make food are prominently featured. Can you add additional titles to the list?

Fab list Carol I love food in books! 😂
Always a cozy feeling!
Love You a Latke looks cute.
It is a fun read and totally TBR worthy!
I enjoyed reading The Kitchen Front. It’s a well researched, and written, historical fiction.
Pam @ Read! Bake! Create!

Yes it is! One of my favs of hers.
I have Love You A Latke on hold at the library. Can’t wait to read that one. I run a monthly link up for books about food. I’d love to have you join up at https://www.spiritblog.net/september-2024-foodies-read.
It’s a fun read! Enjoy! 🙌
I really enjoy Carolyn Brown, so I’m going to have to check out The Divine Donut Shop!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
I think it was the first Carolyn Brown I read! Enjoy!
Good list. I enjoyed City Baker’s Guide–I later did a writing workshop with the author.
Oh that’s interesting! How fun!
The Kitchen Front was so good! And I somehow missed I Love You a Latke, but I need to find a copy! Great list 🙂
I think you’ll enjoy Latke! 🙌
Loved Mrs Quinn’s Rise to Fame! 🍰
A memorable story!
All the best food books I can think of are memoirs! The Sweet Life in Paris by David Lebovitz, Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, My Life in Paris by Julia Child, Finding Freedom (The Lost Kitchen) by Erin French, Taste by Stanley Tucci, Picnic in Provence by Elizabeth Bard, Cinnamon and Gunpowder by Eli Brown, and all the Peter Mayle books!
I think I forgot about memoirs! Thanks for the titles! 🙌
I loved the Devine Donut Shop, Carol, but I haven’t ready any of the others. Great post. 💖📚
Devine Donut is a cute read!
The first thing that came to mind for me were cozy mysteries. It’s great to see so many others. I am adding a lot to my TBR this week, although most of these are already there or I have read them.
Food makes books feel cozier!
