I'm adding Cold Feet to the pot.

Some readers are sort of put off by it. Dieters? Curmudgeons? Who knows. The cake sounds delicious. Not only do I lap up food in books, I also like recipes. <br /><br />Judith Copekhttp://www.judycopek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-31324004298478018782013-06-25T10:03:36.019-05:002013-06-25T10:03:36.019-05:00Thank you for the recipe for blackberry jam cake. ...Thank you for the recipe for blackberry jam cake. I enjoyed your book and the food references only added to it. As you pointed out, we do eat (at least) three times a day. Looking forward to the next book and even more cake.

No pun intended. You have inspired me to look at my novel in progress and see how many opportunities I've missed for including food! Since food is not a biggie in my personal life, I may have unwittingly left out parts where food could enrich the characters. I'll let you know how it goes.Greta Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-59500445085773091912013-06-25T08:39:54.582-05:002013-06-25T08:39:54.582-05:00Oh, of course!

And yes, I do include food in my fiction, and some nonfiction.
