Cookbooks and books about food sell by the millions each year, and even those who don’t cook are often fascinated by food-related titles. (Check out such books as Skinny Bitch, Eat This Not That, and The Pleasures of Slow Food, among others.) Many book-lovers are food-lovers as well. But what about authors? Well, it turns out that they love food just as much, and often talk about the food their characters are eating.
Natasha of the Maw Books blog has collected quite a few recipes from her interviews with favorite authors. As she explains on her blog:
One of my favorite things to do while interviewing authors is to ask them to either share a recipe from a food/meal that was featured in their books or a personal favorite. Later, I make the recipe, take photos, and blog about it! I honestly blame it all on Katherine Center when her main character was eating a delicious Mexican Tomato Lime soup and I seriously wanted to try it. When I asked Katherine for it, she said it was her favorite soup and I’m not kidding when I say it’s now mine!
