Cookbooks aren't the only places for food in writing. In fact, fresh, crunchy veggies and sweet, fluffy cakes often make their appearances in fiction, playing with our appetites as the characters play with our emotions.
In particular, there's something about romance and food. How many times have we fallen in love over a chocolate soufflé or a glass of wine? Lots of times, in the pages of a book. So here are a few of our favorite foodie love stories. You'll fall in love with the characters and the food!
Culinary Delights: Four Delectable Foodie Romances
by Penny Watson and Julia Barrett
Four love stories, written by two award-winning authors… In “Beauty and the Feast,” Eva, a personal chef, meets wealthy entrepreneur, Gabriel, and sparks fly, in and out of the kitchen. In “Apples Should be Red,” what happens when opposites are forced to spend a holiday together? They attract. The stories in this book are creative, romantic, sexy and delicious—and had us wishing for seconds! (We were thrilled to see the bonus recipes!)
