They don’t have to be food-related, but have tantalizing descriptions of what the characters ate.

The Kat Holloway series by Jennifer Ashley. It's historical and set in London. The main character is a cook in an aristocrat's house. I'm not a huge foodie and I love reading about the things Kat makes. The author must have done a ton of research.

Jane and Michael Stern, who write the Roadfood guides, wrote a memoir called "Two For the Road" about their adventures. It's a fun read and they describe the restaurants and food.

Donna Leon’s Guido Brunetti mystery series. Brunette’s Cookbook was written to help satisfy readers who wanted to try dishes that were described in the books.
