„The kidneys (grilled over a clear fire) lay on top of thick slices of bacon, surrounded by fried potatoes, golden brown and sizzling. The bacon was farm bacon (…) Gilbert fell to and enjoyed his supper; the grill, followed by apple tart, and the apple tart by home-made cheese.“ — I would love to read a novel full of food descriptions like that .Any #suggestions? @bookstodon#Reading
i loved when they were in montenegro and he was explaining why scrambled eggs took 45 minutes to cook properly. or was 2 or 3 juniper berries too much for some sauce.
@Tinido@bookstodon If you have a Kindle and are good with fantasy, try Tom Bruno's Confessions of a Gourmand, or How to Cook a Dragon. A fantasy world as seen through the eyes of an adventurous apprentice chef, where every race and culture has a unique cuisine and palate.
Try the Andrea Camilleri series starring Inspector Montalbano. The food is Italian; the inspector loves it and it is lovingly described. The first one in the series is The Shape of Water.

Elin Hilderbrand goes off on a wild ride sometimes about food in some of her romance novels, if you like romance. The Blue Bistro in particular. I wish I could have scored a table at that restaurant.
