Nora Ephron's HEARTBURN included recipes. They're supposed to be quite good.
If you enjoy Patrick O'Brian's novels about the British Navy in the days of Napoleon, you'll love LOBSCOUSE AND SPOTTED DOG. A mother-daughter team researched recipes for all the food mentioned in the Aubrey-Maturin novels and ate the results. The cookbook includes the recipes and snippets of the original descriptions, as well as reviews of the food. (Turns out that rats are surprisingly tasty.) It was a joy to read.
Nanny Ogg, of Discworld fame, wrote a cookbook called THE JOYE OF SNACKS. You can actually buy Nanny Ogg's Cookbook: A Useful and Improving Almanack of Information Including Astonishing Recipes from Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Again, great fun to read, and I understand that the recipes are all edible.
