Food in novels can be described in various ways. Sometimes it's just a simple mention to set the scene, like a character having a cup of coffee in a diner. Other times, it's described in great detail to evoke a sense of place or culture. For example, in 'Like Water for Chocolate', the food is so intricately described that it almost becomes a character itself, with the recipes and the emotions associated with cooking and eating the food playing a big role in the story.
Well, in novels, food can be a powerful tool for the author. It can create mood. A warm, home - cooked meal described during a sad or cold scene can bring a sense of comfort. It can also be used for foreshadowing. If a character is poisoned by a particular food later in the story, there might be some early mentions or strange descriptions of that food earlier on.
In 'The Great Gatsby', there were parties with all kinds of luxurious food. The elaborate spreads of caviar, champagne, and decadent desserts were part of the hedonistic lifestyle that Gatsby presented. It was a way to show his new - found wealth and his attempt to attract Daisy through these opulent displays.
Star food in short stories can be described as something very special and alluring. It might have unique appearances, like glowing or being in strange shapes. For example, in a fantasy short story, star food could be a crystal - like berry that sparkles.
Yes, this was also the type that many readers liked to read. If you like ancient romance novels or business novels, I can recommend "I made a fortune with food on my way to escape from famine" and "The rural life of the older sister in transmigration" to you. If you like sci-fi space or light novels, I can recommend Food Is Immortal: Defiant Little Chef and Dish into the Food Streaming Room. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
One reason could be that detailed descriptions of food help create a rich sensory experience for the readers. It also gives a sense of culture and diversity within the fantasy realm. Also, it might serve as a way to introduce unique elements and magic related to food.

In fantasy novels, food can be very magical. For example, in 'Harry Potter', there are things like Butterbeer which is a popular drink among wizards. It has a unique taste that seems both sweet and creamy. There are also magical feasts with a variety of strange and wonderful dishes like roast pheasant that can appear out of nowhere and fill the tables in the Great Hall at Hogwarts.
Food in dystopian novels can be a symbol of power. In some stories, the elite have access to luxurious and high - quality food while the masses are starving. Take 'The Hunger Games' as an instance. The Capitol enjoys all kinds of delicacies, but in the districts, people struggle to get enough to eat. This disparity in food access emphasizes the class divide.
Food novels usually described the protagonist's experiences and adventures in various gourmet restaurants, as well as his or her interactions and exchanges with gourmets. Food novels often involved cooking, food culture, history, geography, and interpersonal relationships, so that readers could understand the relevant knowledge and culture while appreciating food. Some famous gourmet novels included ancient Chinese novels such as Dream of the Red Chamber, Water Margins, and Journey to the West, as well as modern novels such as The Spirit of the Food Halberd and The Taste of Gourmet. These novels had high literary value and also provided rich food descriptions and story clues that were deeply loved by readers.
