Default Books where food plays central role

Joanne Harris has published a delicious book called:

"Five Quarter of the Orange"

I devoured this novel and i strongly recommend it to anyone.

I haven't read her other novels yet but i know a lot of them involves
good food:

-Chocolat (there's a movie with Juliette Binoche & Johnny Depp from this
novel)
-Blackberry Wine

She has also published a recipe book
"My French Kitchen: a book of 120 treasured recipes"

And of course:

*The Life of Pi*; particularly if you are a carnivore.

I loved both Kitchen Confidential and A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain!
Does anyone watch his show on FoodNetwork?

I just finished reading "Crescent" by Diana Abu-Jaber, about an
Arab-American woman chef in Los Angeles. Lots of detail on the food -
smells and tastes - as well as the hard work of a chef's life.

Also the details of L.A. are meticulously described. I don't really
know that city at all but now I *have* to visit the area around UCLA
and see what the Middle Eastern neighborhood is all about.
If you like Isabel Allende you will like this novel.
