i would like to read a book where the author skillfully describes food (how it’s made, what it looks like, etc.) to the point it’s like an ode to the dish. thank you for reading 🩷
This is an unusual addition to this, but I’d like to put forward The Gargoyle, by Andrew Davidson. The food isn’t the main point of the novel – it focuses on a burns victim recovering from the traumatic experiences, but in his recovery, there are several feasts prepared by a carer. They really draw you in, and are very descriptive.
