I just finished Like Water for Chocolate and enjoyed reading all those recipes! I’m already planning to try the fritters - which incidentally is the recipe in the pilot episode of the new TV adaptation on MAX!
Heartburn is a good one, though not super heavy on food. And Lessons in Chemistry is a good one, although more than any of the meals, it made me really want to try Elizabeth Zott’s coffee!!
I don't know most of these, and I'll check them out. See if any of them whet my appetite!
The best book on food I've ever read was A Debt to Pleasure, by John Lanchester. I loved it and would highly recommend it. Some of the most scrumptious food descriptions I've ever read about and the intriguing mysterious storyline is also a treat itself.
Oooh this is a great list Jam! I somehow haven't read any of these, and would love to read Smaller and Smaller Circles especially. I read Piglet recently and loved it—will publish my review in a few weeks.
Manansala’s Tita Rosie mystery series depicts all kinds of Filipino food and includes recipes!
ohhh nice. may series pala sya!
Yup! Four books now.

I was wondering if the recipes were feasible or just made up 😂 Let me know how the fritters go!

I hope they do! i just googled the book you mentioned and sounds right up my alley. very intriguing and won awards too.
I've just revisited this post after reading your guest post for Alicia. I was certain I'd read some of your posts before, glad I'm not going crazy!
I'm intrigued by Piglet, so Alicia's review will be interesting.
yeah looking forward to that too! I still haven’t seen A Debt to Pleasure in my local bookstore but it’s on my TBR sheet.
