'Death by Darjeeling' by Laura Childs is a part of the Tea Shop Mystery series. The main character, Theodosia Browning, owns a tea shop in Charleston. In this story, as in others in the series, food and drink, especially tea, play a big role while she gets involved in solving various mysteries.
One great foodie mystery novel is 'The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie' by Alan Bradley. It features a young and precocious detective, Flavia de Luce, and has a lot of references to food and chemistry in the context of solving mysteries in a post - World War II English village.
Sure. 'Like Water for Chocolate' by Laura Esquivel is a great one. It combines magical realism with food. The story is centered around Tita, who expresses her emotions through her cooking, and the food she makes has a profound impact on those who eat it.
One of the top foodie novels is 'Like Water for Chocolate' by Laura Esquivel. It beautifully blends magic realism with food, as the emotions of the main character are expressed through her cooking. The recipes in the book are described in such a vivid way that it makes you almost taste the food.
Sure. 'Eat, Pray, Love' is a well - known one. It's not just about food but also about self - discovery, and the food in Italy that the author experiences plays a big part in her journey. Another is 'The Kitchen Daughter' which is a heartwarming story where the main character, who has Asperger's, finds connection and meaning through cooking and family recipes.
Sure. 'A Dash of Drame' is a nice 'foodie graphic novel'. It tells the story of a family-owned restaurant and the drama that unfolds within it.

Sure. 'The School of Essential Ingredients' by Erica Bauermeister. It's about a cooking class and the lives of the students. Each chapter focuses on a different student and a recipe, and how the food they cook relates to their personal stories.
There is also 'The Kitchen House' by Kathleen Grissom. While it may not be strictly a 'lost and found sisters' in the most obvious sense, it has strong sister - like bonds among the characters, and food plays an important role in the story. It also has elements of romance and a sense of discovery that can be related to the 'lost and found' concept.

I'd also recommend 'The Kitchen House' by Kathleen Grissom. While it's not solely about food, food plays a significant role in the story. It shows the life on a plantation and how food was prepared and shared among different classes of people. It gives a great historical perspective on food and its cultural importance.
The combination of food and mystery is appealing because it engages two different senses. Food descriptions can make your mouth water while the mystery keeps you on the edge of your seat. For example, in 'The Cozy Corgi Mysteries', the food descriptions are so vivid that you can almost taste the pastries while following the mystery of a small - town crime.
