I really enjoyed "Sun, Moon, Dust" and the way tea and food (and dishware!) are handled in the Radch books.

Whenever food in fiction is mentioned I always think about Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos books and Scott Lynch's Locke Lamora ones -- I feel like food is a really neat part of the richness of the worldbuilding in both (and sometimes illuminates character, also).

For a really food-centric story what comes to mind is Tina Connolly's The Last Banquet of Temporal Confections (it was one of my favorites on the Hugo ballot last year.
