I'm a big reader of New England mysteries and Phillip R Craig always
includes recipes from Martha's Vineyard(well, most always) at the tail
end of his books for food he has mentioned during the book...smoked
bluefish with detailed instructions is just one.

William Tappley, does things like this to a lesser extent.

Here's an interesting link that combines fiction with recipes:
