Two of my recent reads – Here to Stay and One to Watch – had some pretty steamy food scenes that made me very…hungry, yeah hungry. Foodie books are one of those subgenres that I’m naturally inclined to love. Like, show me a cupcake on the cover and I’m game. Here are a few of my other foodie faves.
Fiction
Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews
Kiss My Cupcake by Helena Hunting
The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han
Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal
Non-Fiction
Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain
Born Round by Frank Bruni
Love, Loss and What We Ate by Padma Lakshmi
Julie and Julia by Julie Powell
Tender at the Bone by Ruth Reichl
Bonus: Cookbooks!
The Home Cook by Alex Guarnaschelli
50 by Rachael Ray
Appetite by Nigel Slater
Cravings by Chrissy Teigen
A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg
XOXO
P.S. I could not in good conscience leave this post without mentioning one of my other favorite things on the planet – food documentaries. As far as I’m concerned, these are the best.
Chef’s Table
Jiro Dreams of Sushi
No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain
Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi
Ugly Delicious with David Chang
Whenever I think of “foodie” novels, The Coincidence of Coconut Cake always comes to mind right away!
I am also a sucker for bakery-focused book covers!
