oh what a cute list! Mad Honey by Jennifer Finney Boylan & Jodi Picoult would also fit this!

I don't know if this would fit what you are looking for, as it is a memoir, but it is a narrative memoir. And that is Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton, as she has more than one recipe throughout the book that aligns with what she is talking about.

Memoirs count too! I'll add it in!

2

It has been ages since I read it but I think With the Fire on High had recipes in it?

4

Thanks!! I'll add it into the list!

HAHA i don’t doubt it!! i was referencing the “crazy? i was crazy once. they locked me in a room. a rubber room. a rubber room with rats. and rats make me crazy.” and then each time crazy is said, it repeats

Oh, dw, I know the reference lol 🤣

I love when I come across a book that unexpectedly has the recipes included! 🥰

2

The Dead Husband's Cookbook fits!

3

Awesome!! I'll add it!

Adore this list! I made a recipe from Mango, Mambo and Murder by Raquel V. Reyes and it was a delight!

Also good: The Book of Enchantments by Patricia C Wrede. Fantastic chocolate cake on a shield recipe 🤣

3

I'll add it in! Thanks for the suggestions!

The series “A Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mystery” by Mia P. Manansala (#1 is Arsenic and Adobo) have recipes (or at least the first three that I read. It would be strange if they just stopped, though). Also, I don’t know if you want non-fiction, but My Soul Looks Back is Jessica B Harris’s memoir and has recipes. Black Bottom Saints by Alice Randall has cocktail recipes. I feel like I know more, but not off the top of my head right now.

Thank you! I'll add them! I've read several but was having trouble remembering which ones had them too.

I started a post yesterday asking people if they’ve made any recipes from fiction books and I got a couple of answers! If you want you can add them here ☺️ Seven Recipes for Revolution - Ryan Rose Butter - Asako Yuzuki Meet Me at the Cupcake Café - Jenny Colgan Little Beach Street Bakery - Jenny Colgan The Spare Man - Mary Robinette Kowal

And as a bonus, a memoir (not sure if it fits this list) Slow Noodles - Chantha Nguon

Thank you! I just added these to the list 🩷

A Dark and Secret Magic has a really good pumpkin hummus recipe, banana bread, and some others!

2

Thank you! I just read that one in audiobook form and completely forgot it had the recipes!

Nora Ephron’s Heartburn also fits in this category!

Awesome!! I'll add it now!
