Do you like cookbooks that have a story?

Or, maybe it is novels that have recipes? Not sure what to call it. I have read a couple novels, can’t think of any titles off the top of my head, that were fiction or non, that centered around family coming together in the kitchen and cooking for a particular occasion throughout the story, and then telling the reader the recipes. I kind of liked it, wondered if others do to? One I read for a book club, and when we met that month, we all made one of the dishes from the book, it was kind of nice.
