Or -- though this is a separate genre and a bit out of fashion now -- Those Novels with Recipes in Them?
I had to excavate a lot of dead links to find this one, but it is one of my favorite pieces of fiction built around a recipe: Samantha Henderson, "Scones" (2004).
[edit] The same author's related "Hungry: Some Ghost Stories" (2008) contains no recipe, but the question structure made me think also of you.
My mother has a surprising number of mysteries that still come with recipes in. I once baked a Pernese bubbly pie from a published recipe that I would amend as an adult. rushthatspeaks and I have been trying for more than a decade to reverse-engineer a butter-pie from Diana Wynne Jones' Time City.
[edit edit] (For example, I count New England Spider Cake as literary because I learnt it from a post by sovay .)

It's an honor!
