I Made Reservations (for Reading)đ˝
I recently binged Raw (Irish TV show; 2008 - 2013) and realised that a lot of my favourite books, movies, fanfics and shows are set in restaurants or coffee shops and/or center around food! So, here's a list of books (ALL GENRES!) set in or largely featuring restaurants or cafes! Please comment your recs to help me find more great books and lengthen the list!

"Eat,Pray,Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert had yummy sounding food in it!
I saw the film a long time ago!đ¤
Ohh yes, that was good but the book was better, I thought!
Actually this is great, there are plenty of books that would fit this category!! The author who came straight to mind, for me, would be Sarah-Kate Lynch. The books of hers I've read and which made me want to eat what the characters were eating, are "Blessed Are" "By Bread Alone" "Dolci de love" - I read this a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure it involved good food! And she had another I'm just not sure if I've read or not, called "Eating with the Angels", but surely there's got to be good food in that!
Thank you for the recs! Will look into them!đ
Perhaps Aftertaste by Daria Lavelle?
Oh my goodness, ghosts and food? This sounds perfect! Thank youđĽ°
