Can anyone recommend me any foodie romance novels?

I've recently become interested in them, however, I've only gotten my hands on "Delicious" by Sherry Thomas. I want to add more to my collection. After a search on Amazon.com, I've found a few titles but I want to know which ones are preferred by the AW public. Thanks!

Chocolat?

Thanks! I hadn't thought about it and surprisingly, it didn't pop up anywhere ^^;

I JUST picked it up, so I'm not that far into it yet, but I'm LOVING it hard so far: "The Value of X" by Poppy Z. Brite. It's the first book of a whole series set in New Orleans.

The Hot Flash Club series, by Nancy Thayer. Lots of food, very entertaining.

Louisa Edwards, Can't Stand the Heat.

I think she has a follow up to it too.

Beat me to it.

I want to read Sherry Thomas's "Delicious" too. My current WIP is a foodie romance, so I could use all the inspiration I can get!

Not exactly a romance, but I liked "Like Water for Chocolate."

I found a really cute one called "The Food of Love" by Anthony Capella for a buck a few years ago. I really liked it. Here's a link:

@Bubastes- I'm doing the same.

Thanks for everyone for their recommendations! My foodie to-be-read list is definitely increasing.

I read this about ten years ago: Eat Me by Linda Jaivin http://www.powells.com/biblio/7-9780767901598-5

I remember I enjoyed it, I remember a funny opening food sex scene in the grocery store, although I confess I don't remember much more about it.

You could try Bread Alone by Judith Hendricks. Women's fiction with a romantic element, lots of food involved.
