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
3. Secret, Book, and Scone Society Mysteries by Ellery Adams
4. Fried Green Tomatoes At the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg
5. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
6. Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously by Julie Powell
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
Fried Green Tomatoes was such a good read.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Ten Tuesday.
I loved Fried Green Tomatoes! Have the Hannah Swenson books on my TBR, too.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
Thanks Aymee! I like the Swenson books! I prefer historical books but those are always cute with great recipes. I will check out your list :)
DeleteIf 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.

Yes, it's a favorite of mine from when I was a kid. Thanks Laurie, I will have to go to your list and see what you've got!
DeleteI'm one of those people who are into foodie books! LOL. If you read and review any of these I'd love to have you link up with our monthly event. https://www.spiritblog.net/september-2024-foodies-read/
ReplyDeleteI feel like I need to read more from this genre as well! Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy! I need to branch out, lol....I like the same authors and it's hard for me to read new stuff sometimes!
DeleteThese 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.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
