Top Ten Tuesday: Books Involving Food

 




This week's Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl features books that involve food. I knew there was slim chance I'd have reviews for anything on this topic. It just isn't my thing. But it sounded like a fun challenge to find them anyway. 

When searching though, I discovered so many that I was excited! Who knew there was a whole community of book and foodie lovers out there who actually make lists of these books and seek them out for this reason. I think that is fascinating. Since I am not a big fan of books set in the present I was also glad to see some historical fiction food themed books. I will definitely be trying out a couple of them. Number ten is right up my alley. Here is my list! Happy Reading ya'll :) 


1. The Hannah Swenson Mysteries by Joanne Fluke. 

2. Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel





7. Babette's Feast by Isak Dinesen

8. The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister

9. Heartburn by Nora Ephron

10. John Saturnall's Feast by Lawrence Norfolk

  3. If you lean more into historical fiction, you should look at The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan. It's a great look at how families dealt with rationing during the war years.

  7. These sound good. I hope you enjoy whichever ones you read! I didn't realise that I liked food based books but I do. I think they add an interesting extra layer to a story.

    Have a great week!
