Happy Tuesday y’all! This week, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl has deemed today’s topic a Thankful Freebie in honor of the American Thanksgiving holiday. In Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving in October, though my house also celebrates the American one. Yay for two food-centric holidays in two months! So, to celebrate the food side of the holiday, I thought I would share a feast of food-related books!
This feast of food-related books contains something for everyone! These books are all ones that I have read and enjoyed. Food may not be the story’s main point, but it plays an important part.
All titles will lead to Goodreads.
Now, let’s have a feast of food-related books!

What a wonderful list!! I’m always thankful for books about food.
What a feast Pam! Now I’m hungry… A Wizard’s guide to defensive baking – that can only be fun! Oh I remember Baking cakes in Kigali. Great read!
Have a lovely Tuesday Pam.

Yay! Glad to see you have some mysteries in your list. With cozy mysteries, i think they all have food, lol. I haven’t read “Up To No Gouda” yet, but it’s on my list.
Mysteries by Moonlight
Great pick of topic! I loved Fake It Till You Bake It and I can’t wait to read For Butter or Worse. Kingfisher’s book is also on my TBR and I’m keen to check it out. 😍
My household sometimes celebrates both, too! I grew up in the U.S., so I get a little nostalgic for American Thanksgiving this time of year. 🙂

This list makes me hungry. 🙂 My former neighbors were from Canada and also celebrated two Thanksgivings. I guess it sucks to have family living in different countries because people can’t all get off work at the same time.
So many good memories of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie! I loved it, and so did my children. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I love that you celebrate both American and Canadian Thanksgiving! How fun is that? My ancestors came from Scotland and settled in Nova Scotia before migrating to the U.S. I think that’s reason enough to start celebrating both in my home, too 🙂
Happy TTT!

A great list. I have come to appreciate books that feature food. I have read The Kitchen Front and really enjoyed that.
Have a great week!

These looks like some great books. And I love those covers.
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving over here. But I do love to watch social media to see all those yummy food photos. 😉
Love food-related books 🙂 Hope you’ll have a great Thanksgiving!
I really liked A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking too!
What a great list – I love what you did with this week’s freebie, and I hope you enjoy (second) Thanksgiving! I loved Up to No Gouda, and I’m always a sucker for a good cozy mystery with a food-themed title, so it was especially nice to see one of my favorites featured this week.
What an entertaining way to present a collection of food books! I’ve read Kitchen Front and quite enjoyed it. Hope all these foody books portend great things for your family feast! Thanks for the visit & have a terrific week.
Fantastic list, although now I deal a little peckish!!
A Wizard’s Guide To Defensive Baking sounds like such fun! Definitely one to add to the TBR, thank you 🙂

These look yummy! I love that you included If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
I actually am a bit jealous of the timing of Canadian Thanksgiving. It makes more sense to me given the harvest timing, and I would prefer to spread out the holiday days off of work a bit.
Happy TTT on a Wednesday! My post: https://bookwyrmknits.com/2022/11/22/top-ten-tuesday-thankful-for-anthologies/
Great topic!! If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a good one!! Oliver really enjoys when we read that one.
What a great post, Pam. I have read many of these and love your list. I am in Ontario and also celebrate both holidays. There can never be enough days to be thankful.
I read For Butter or Worse earlier this year, entirely because the title was a pun. It was a fun book.

Love your list of books.. from the picture book to the very last one 🙂 I have read just a couple of them and now am tempted – both by the books and the food 🙂 Here is my TTT
Maggie Knox and Laura Taylor Namey are both authors on my list (and with books on my shelf) who I want to read. Must make this happen at some point! Thanks so much for visiting my website on this week. 🙂
