There's 'The School of Essential Ingredients' by Erica Bauermeister. It's a story that weaves together the lives of different people through a cooking class, with some elements of mystery as the characters' pasts are gradually revealed.

Sure. One great example is 'Chocolat' by Joanne Harris. It combines the mystery of a small French village with the allure of chocolate. Another is 'The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie' by Alan Bradley, which features a young girl solving mysteries and has some great food elements related to her family's kitchen. And 'Murder on the Orient Express' by Agatha Christie also has some food references while being a classic mystery.
Well, 'Red, White, and Royal Blue' has some food scenes and a bit of mystery in the political and personal relationships. It's not a traditional food - centered mystery but still has those elements. Another one could be 'The Night Circus' which has some mysterious food and drink elements like the magical hot chocolate served in the circus, and it has an overall air of mystery surrounding the circus itself.
I also like 'Delicious!' by Ruth Reichl. It's set in a famous food magazine and has elements of mystery, history, and of course, lots of descriptions of delicious food. It's a book that will make you crave good food while you read it.
