Literary Diversions for Foodies, With Recipes

Eating Between the Lines
By Lisa Kirkpatrick

While lots of foodies brag that they read cookbooks in bed at night like novels, these days it's just as easy to settle down with either a culinary memoir or a novel that's chock-full of recipes. In some instances, the recipes are prominent features in the stories while in others they're simply embellishments, but the "recipes added" trend is already well-established. Here are three recent releases that are perfect for reading on vacation, at the beach, or at bedtime, with no fear of leaving crumbs between the sheets.
