Some of us snack while we read, and others of us just find some yummy (sounding) food inside the pages of our books. I tend to be a reader who doesn’t snack while flipping pages, but this doesn’t mean I don’t read some books that are ideal for foodies. As a result, today we talk about books perfect for foodies!
LIST | 12 of the Most Fun Half-Hour TV Shows
I decided to limit this to the books I own rather than expand it to all the books out there because a: there are a lot and b: I’d rather know a little something about these featured books, even if some I haven’t read. Which is true, many of these I haven’t yet read, and so their placement here is based on their cover art which seems to suggest there’d be some yummy treats inside the pages.
Let’s take a look at the books on my shelves that fit this.
Books Perfect for Foodies
1: Tell me Three Things, by Julie Buxbaum
I mean, there are waffles on the cover. Not sure this plays into the plot, but who doesn’t love waffles? Goodreads
2: The Unliklies, by Carrie Firestone
Don’t know if this has anything to do with food as a story, but we have to love all that ice cream on the cover, right? Goodreads
3: The Way You Make Me Feel, by Maurene Goo
This one doesn’t indicate its foodie connection on the cover, but the YA heroine does work on her father’s food truck, so it’s got a place on this list. Goodreads
4: The Wishing Season, by Denise Hunter
This one has all those winter vibes on its cover art, but it also features a main character as a chef. Goodreads
5: The Supper Club (Series), by Carla Laureano
I mean, not only does this series feature some tasty-looking covers, there are also some delish dishes inside these pages. The stories of friendship (and romance!) hurt nothing either. Goodreads
6: Two Blue Doors (Series), by Hillary Manton Lodge
This entire series teems with food; so many descriptions and family meals together. Plus, who doesn’t like a good family saga? Goodreads
7: Save the Date, by Morgan Matson
Another one I doubt is all about food, but I kinda’ had to include this one (even though it’s about a wedding in which everything goes wrong) because that cake looks good. Goodreads
8: When Dimple Met Rishi, by Sandhya Menon
I do love a good Frappuccino now and again (no matter how bad they are), so yes, this one gest a mention – and I also still need to read this one book! Goodreads
9: As Easy as Cherry Pie, by Bell Renshaw
Along with a sweet hero, the leading lady her is a baker who bakes up some pretty yummy (sounding!) treats. Goodreads
10: Prince in Disguise, by Stephanie Kate Strohm
Probably doesn’t have much to do with food, but on a crisp autumn day, there’s nothing like a cup of our favorite warm beverage!? Plus this book (about a prince!) sounds too cute. That’s always reason enough to feature a book. Goodreads
11: Stay Sweet, Siobhan Vivian
Ice cream seems a theme on today’s list, but who doesn’t enjoy the decedent treat? Goodreads
12: Love & Gelato, by Jenna Evans Welch
Traveling to Italy is reason enough to pick up a book, but if there’s some tasty food involved, it’s twice as good. Goodreads

Thank you for visiting!
Linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl and Top Ten Tuesday September 1: Books That Make Me Hungry (They could have food items on the cover, foods in the title, be about foodies or have food as a main plot point… they could be cookbooks or memoirs, etc.)
The only book I’ve heard of on your list is Tell Me Three things with the little waffles. I actually read it and don’t remember anything about waffles, but, it is a clever cover! Good cover choices for all sorts of food!
my list: https://www.bookshelfjourneys.com/post/top-10-tuesday-hungry-books
I wondered about the role (or lack of) the waffles in “Tell Me Three Things” too. But as you say, it’s cute anyway. :) Thanks for the visit, Terrie.
I didn’t even think of using Tell Me Three Things! Great picks! Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday List!
Thanks! It was fun to include. :)
Love & Gelato made my list as well this week.
It’s a perfect fit. :) Thanks for the visit.
Looks like When Dimple Met Rishi is going to be on a lot of lists this week. It made mine too.
YES! I thought it was a good fit. :)
Okay, I will have to get my hands on Love and Gelato as soon as possible. I’ve seen it featured numerous times on this week’s TTT. The rest I don’t know at all. But they do look yummy!
Happy TTT and here’s my 10 Books that make me hungry
Doesn’t ‘Love & Gelato’ look fun!? I still need to read it as well. :) Hopefully we’ll both enjoy. Appreciate your visit, Mareli.
I’ve always loved that cover for Tell Me Three Things. Something about it (haha maybe the waffles lol). :)
And Love & Gelato is so good!
Right!? :) Always good to hear about a book being good! Thanks for the visit, Greg.
Love and Gelato sounds so good!
I agree. Sounds like a lovely read indeed. :) Thanks for the visit, Marg.
I actually just finished Save the Date and there’s suprisingly a few mentions of food in it, plenty of breakfast runs for bagels and doughnuts! I also really need to read When Dimple Met Rishi (frappuccinos are so bad but so good!) hopefully I’ll get round to it soon too. Great list!
YAY! It’s a good addition then. Gotta’ love a good doughnut. :) Thanks so much for the visit, Bobby.
I don’t know what a supper club is. Can I assume it’s a group of friends who take turns making meals for everyone? If so, that sounds marvellous.
My post .
This supper club is about a woman who hosts a monthly (I think…!) dinner club as a kind of “exclusive” dining experience. That’s how it starts, but then the series expands beyond that to the women who are friends with the main character from book one. :) Thanks for the visit, Lydia.
Now I want waffles and ice cream ? Great post!
Hey, sometimes we have to splurge on a tasty treat, right? Thanks for the visit, Rachel. :)
I really want to read Love and Gelato, if only for the gelato :)
I didn’t realize The Way You Make Me Feel had a food truck, but it sounds like a lot of fun!
SAME! Maurene’s books are always fun! Have you read any by her? Thanks for the visit, Lindsey.
Now that I see Save the Date here and think about it, that one made me want to eat, too. Wedding cake, especially. Nice list!
A good piece of cake is always in style. :) Thanks for the visit, Deanna.
One of these days I’d like to try The Unlikelies and Love and Gelato. Thanks for sharing!
Lauren @ Always Me
They both sure LOOK sweet, right!? :)
Oooh! I own Save the Date and Tell Me Three Things! I can’t wait to read those books soon! Great list!
Hope we both enjoy these, Ronyell! :) Thanks for the visit.
some fun covers
For sure! :)
I love all the look of the ice cream too! Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
YES! We all love some ice cream now and again, right!? :)
I enjoyed Save the Date, and I finally recently read Love & Gelato. Now I get the hype. Such a cute book. <3
Aw, so fun! Glad “Love and Gelato” is good. It looks darling. :) Thanks, as always, for visiting here, Dedra.
