Six Genres to Choose From!
-
Romance Books
Sugar, Spice, and everything nice? For romance books, we're focusing largely on contemporary romances. While I won't reveal ALL the book options for the romance blind date, Simmer Down definitely made the cut! If you want further recommendations, check out my blog post on Foodie Romantic Comedies I recommend

Fiction Books
Fiction books have a large range of opportunity for foodie books and topics, but with these, romances are not at the focus. I love picking foodie fiction where family traditions or culture are at the core, with titles such as The Lager Queen of Minnesota: A Novel Novel by J. Ryan Stradal

Young Adult
With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acavedo is the best example of a Young Adult Foodie Blind Date! Another book I've recently featured is Salty, Bitter, Sweet Young Adult targets readers 12 - 18 but lately we have seen readers expand into their early 20s! If you want a few examples, check out my blog post.
-
Middle Grade
Do you have a little reader in your life? Or maybe, a little one who wants to read more? Consider a Middle Grade blind date with a book. Middle Grade books target readers ages 8 - 12 years old before they transition into Young Adult reading. These books are still food-themed and often have great learning lessons from the lead protagonists!
-
Mystery
Pick up a cozy mystery. Whether set in an ice cream shop or maybe in your abuela's kitchen, I think cozy mysteries are a fun read to grab on a cold wintery night.
