While fried onions are the most prominent food item in Kris Ripper’s The Real Life Build (m/m), it’s the peanut butter and jelly sandwich that I remember as one of the most romantic moments in the book, because of the care and attention to detail that went into it. The chef in Shira Glassman’s secondary world fantasy romance The Second Mango (f/f) is the perfect match for the queen, who has food allergies, and treasures someone who believes they are real and crafts meals that she can actually eat, with tremendous care. I love the way Christopher, the hero of Roan Parrish’s Small Change (m/f), makes Ginger sandwiches as a way to woo her. ![]() ![]() It felt both respectful and attentive while honoring his autonomy, and as an autistic reader with some similar food restrictions, I really appreciated it.
