Food has always been a way queer people create family, preserve culture, and celebrate one another. The Food, Cooking, & Entertaining category brings together cookbooks, food writing, and entertaining guides that reflect LGBTQ+ lives, tastes, and traditions, from everyday comfort cooking to joyful dinner parties and chosen-family feasts.
Here you’ll find queer-authored cookbooks, memoirs told through food, and books that explore the cultural, political, and personal meanings of what we eat. These titles highlight queer kitchens, community gatherings, and the role of food in activism, survival, and celebration, along with practical inspiration for hosting, sharing, and welcoming others at the table.
Whether you’re cooking for one, feeding a crowd, or planning a fabulous get-together, these books honor the joy of cooking, the power of hospitality, and the simple truth that sharing food is one of the most enduring ways we connect.
