Well, Chocolat is about a woman who opens a chocolate shop in a village in France and has to deal with the priest who doesn't approve. Blackberry Wine is about an author who buys a house in the country so he can go write his book. Five Quarters of the Orange is about children who grow up during the German Occupation of France. They've all got lots of descriptions of food and they're quite similar in stile, but I liked Chocolat and Five Quarters of the Orange a lot.
I'm sure I could borrow Susan's an owl and send them to you, if you're laid up.
