Abstract
The topic of food has recently taken the centre stage. The food trend is evident not just in a plethora of cookery books and nutrition research but also in current writers' novels. Each culture depicts its distinctive cuisine, as well as its specific traditional rules and eating habits, in its literature. Food can be used to create compelling visuals. Food practices elicit a variety of associations in the minds of different writers. Food can be perceived not only via the particular senses of smell and taste but also through the other senses. It aids in the evocation of more memories and sensations. As a result, food imagery in literature may seem like a source of deeply implanted associations that lead into the depths of personal and societal memory. Book of Rachel by Esther David is a celebration of culinary obsessions and the metaphors that come with them. The novel is structured like a recipe, with each chapter beginning with a signature dish and a list of ingredients. An attempt has been made to analyse and bring to light the relationship between food and literature in Esther David's novel "Book of Rachel."
