The voting will start a little later once the first-post list is updated with everything so until then noms will stay open.
Great noms, drofgnal and Bookworm_Girl! I haven't heard of a number of these before and they all look really enjoyable and their settings alluring, such as The Wine Maker's setting in Madrid and the farming fields of northern Spain.

I'm glad you found something good from them! I thought of waiting until nominations were over to post those but I've done that before and then forgot to, lol, so I just struck while the iron was still on my mind, to mix up an idiom.

These all look very interesting too... the danged availability monster strikes again!
It is noteworthy that looking at all the nominations and possibilities in this thread, most of the food in the titles are lighter fare like desserts, fruits, side foods, etc. when it comes to a meal or feast. Maybe oysters are the closest. I'd actually looked for some books about more main course type fare such as meats like steak but didn't find much comparatively.
