Take ten: Yummy foods/restaurants mentioned it books
1. A Table at a Window
Family restaurants and recipes!
2. Let them Eat Cake
It's been a while since I read this one, but I remember loving the French bakery!
3. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Turkish Delight! (which, after wanting to try for some time, I didn't actually find that amazing. lol)
4. One Paris Summer
I felt like this book could of been a lot better, but it did leave me craving a good chocolate croissant.;)
5. The Welcome Home Diner
6. My Blue is Happy
Okay, so this one isn't really about yummy food, but I love the popsicle! It makes me think of summer days.
7. Lizzy and Jane
This is such an interesting look at food and cooking for those going through chemo.
8. A Portrait of Emily Price
A trip through Italy, marrying into a family who owns a restaurant, this is the perfect foodie book.;)
9. Jane of Austin
English tea shop meets Texas. I love the combination!
10. Where Two Hearts Meet
I love that Caden is a baker!
Wow, this wound up being harder then I thought it would be! I apparently don't pay much attention to food in books, unless it's a bit part of the story, like a family restaurant.
What about you? Does the food in books stand out to you?
LOTS of great stories and books with yummy foods on this list! Love that you featured one set in Paris (always good food I am sure), Liz's, Hillary's, and of course, Katherine's. I also love the "big deal" made out of breakfast in Melissa Tagg's Walker series, but didn't use those books.
ReplyDeleteFun list! :)
I still need to read the Walker series, since it's been on my list for some time now.;)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Some of these books have really appealed to me! :-) This week's list is making me hungry!
ReplyDeleteMe too! It makes me want to do some fall baking.;)
DeleteI have turkish delight on my list as well. I have the same thing as you that food doesn't always really stand out to me. Though I do sometimes remember character's favorite snacks, haha.
ReplyDeleteI must not read a lot when I am quite hungry for the food to not stand out to me.;)
DeleteHave you tried Turkish Delight?
I'm sort of like you. While I remember reading about some amazing foods in books, unless the food was central to the theme, I can't remember what books the foods were in.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. - Katie
Thanks for stopping by, Katie! I will have to check out your list.;)
DeleteAll of these books (but the Narnia book) are new to me which rarely happens. I am particularly interested in A Table by the Window. I love food/restaurant memoirs!
ReplyDeleteThe series by Hillary Manton Lodge is excellent! I highly recommend it.;)
DeleteThe sandwiches with chicken filling was giving out unpleasant smell. The food had gone bad. To our good fortune we figured out that it had gone bad and decided not to eat it. Thieb meaux
