On Amazon I found a Nancy Drew cookbook and a Boxcar Children Cookbook.

Bread and Jam for Frances by Lillian Hoban — marvelous!
Frances is a picky eater. Her wise mother allows her to eat bread and jam for every meal, while she serves wonderful meals to the family, which the father always describes with appreciation and zeal. Frances also has a friend who has wonderful lunches made for him by his mother. Of course, Frances eventually tires of her picky ways and limited menu. One of our favorite moments is when Hoban tells us that, while Frances’ baby sister generally eats baby food, "she liked to practice with a string bean whenever she could."
Absolutely delightful story, with wonderful foods you could use. And I love all the other suggestions made here! (Eric Carle is the author of "The Hungry Caterpillar.")

I googled "children’s books food" and got quite a good list. I like what’s on the Listmania list below.

It’s more of a young adult book than a children’s book, but the Rodney character from King Fortis the Brave is driven by food

There’s "Superfudge" by Judy Blume. Also Roald Dahl’s "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." And don’t forget "How to Eat Fried Worms" by Thomas Rockwell.
