Food can be an evocative clue in historical research. In the research for my nonfiction project I (at first) read right over the protagonist’s frequent mentions of food prepared. Then the light dawned—a disgraced woman arguing that she was truly respectable signalled her class aspirations with references to Lobster Newburg (in the Gilded Age, a newly elevated food for the wealthy) and Welsh Rarebit (the favorite midnight snack of l. 19th-century college girls), together painting a portrait of an educated young woman who dined in the best circles. Like a good author, she didn’t tell it, she showed it!

I’m sending the link of your post to my Facebook Group (Thoughtful Romance Readers Love Food). And I agree—food fiction needs at least a sub-genre. Just wrote one myself and my inspiration was Babette’s Feast.
