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

Definitely adding to the list!
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!
It has been ages since I read it but I think With the Fire on High had recipes in it?

Thanks!! I'll add it into the list!
I love this list!!
crazy that i was JUST thinking of wanting to know what people's favorite recipes (from books) were. it's like this list was meant to be
Crazy?? 👀 That's definitely a wild premonition tho 🙂↕️
crazy? i was crazy once
I've been crazy since day one 😎
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 🤣
OH OH GOOD i was like am i too chronically online for this 😩
idk where it originated from 😔

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