Plateful of foodie fiction books will make you hungry
Food often takes a passive role in books. Sure, many authors garnish their novels with an occasional tasty morsel — we might be the fly on the wall as friends grab lunch to discuss their stressful jobs or the invisible third wheel when a couple split dessert on their first date — but few writers serve us stories wherein food is the star of the plot.
From cooking lessons to talented bakers and family food fights, these seven novels, each with its own flavor of literary cuisine, are sure to whet your appetite.
