Books Involving Food (That are Not Cookbooks)
Click the image to be taken to the blog hosting Top Ten Tuesday
Selecting the books for this week’s post got me hungry indeed:
- The Eighth Life by Nino Haratischwili – I want the hot chocolate from this book so bad!
- Three Apples Fell from the Sky by Narine Abgaryan – so many delicious sounding dishes with simple ingredients featured here;
- A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher – freshly baked bread and warm cookies anyone?
- Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus – a cooking TV show by a chemist and a very good read indeed;
- Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree – a cozy café and yummy pastries;
- Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies by Catherine Mack – whilst I did not enjoy the plot, the book takes place in Italy and so much pasta and wine is consumed that I felt it deserved a spot on this list;
- The Food of Love by Anthony Capella – more yummy pasta featured;
- Greece Actually by Sue Roberts – Greek food and Greek islands – a match made in heaven;
- Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner – a sad book featuring Korean food;
- The Holiday Swap by Maggie Knox – featuring chefs and bakeries.

Now I’m hungry. Those noodles looks especially good.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
I wouldn’t mind some noodles myself at the moment. Happy reading Lydia!
I adored The Holiday Swap! It was a fun read and a fun review to write.

It was indeed. Thanks for visiting Pam!
I love The Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking! I run a monthly link up for books about food. I’d love to have you join up at https://www.spiritblog.net/september-2024-foodies-read.
Thanks Heather, I’ll check it out.
Well now I want coffee and cinnamon rolls 😂 thanks for dropping by my post!
Fab covers!
I love seeing Legends & Lattes get so much love!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
Every time I see the ‘Someone Dies’ book on a list, the title makes me smile! It sure makes one curious about what all goes on in that story! Also I own Maggie’s book. Haven’t read it but I remember I picked it up because it sounded really fun. 🙂 Thanks a bunch for visiting my website today!
Some interesting looking books, I nearly added Lessons in Chemistry to my list.

Finally I see someone who read The Eighth Life as well, it’s a book that really seems to stay under the radar in English. In my country it was a huge success.
A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking, Legends & Lattes, and Lessons in Chemistry are three of my favorite books! I love them! I also have Crying in H Mart on my TBR but I haven’t heard of any of the other books.
Three Apples Fell from the Sky go to my tbr, i love to read about different cultures
This is a great list! I’ve read a few of these, but it looks like I’m about to be adding some more to my TBR now. Three Apples Fell from the Sky sounds really interesting – I haven’t seen many books about Armenian stories, so that one is definitely getting prioritized. Thanks for the heads up!
