Whoever came up with the idea to merge storytelling and cooking was a genius. Some of the books below include recipes, while others will simply get your tummy grumbling! Check out these five books that will make you hungry:
1. Chocolat by Joanne Harris
Have a box of chocolates handy when you crack open Joanne Harris's book about a French chocolaterie. Also a film starring Johnny Depp.
2. Food: A Love Story by Jim Gaffigan
Comedian Jim Gaffigan will make you laugh and make you hungry in this hilarious celebration of all things food. (His "food map" of the United States is hysterical. And surprisingly accurate.)
3. Love in a Tuscan Kitchen by Sheryl Ness
Sheryl Ness will transport you to Italy in this memoir chock full of recipes and a real-life love story. What could be more romantic than Tuscany?
4. Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel
