Is that what you're thinking of?
Yes!
Julie and Julia.
For sure, but I only like to put a few non-fiction on there.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
This looks pretty good: The School of Essential Ingredients. It's a novel, too.

Because books.
Also Chocolat by Joanne Harris, and if I remember correctly Amy Tan's Joy Luck Club had a whole lot to do with food, too.

The Last Chinese Chef
How funny, one of the salonistas was just raving about A Cup of Light (by the same author) this morning.
Any classics besides Tom Jones? I don't want to have to resort to The Jungle.

Gabriela Cloves and Cinammon. But food was important to most of what Amado wrote.

I'd never heard of that, but I checked the description on Goodreads and now I want to read it.
I came across these on Goodreads food/novel lists: Far from the Madding Crowd (Thomas Hardy) and The Pickwick Papers (Charles Dickens)
I haven't read either, do they have big meal scenes?

To me not one of Amado's best though often the one people start with cause of the movie. My favorites: "Tent of Miracles" and "Shepherds of the Night". (latter is really a series of related short stories in the same setting and with the same characters. Like a TV series with an arc.)
