Would extensive descriptions of foods and feasts be welcomed in fantasy? I've been cooking a lot recently and I feel like I could sell a book that focused on the food as much as the gore.
Maigret does that and that's detective fiction. You're probably safe, but you'll have Freudians all over you asking what the food really means.

Yes. Read American Psycho.

Yes, Make it part novel, part memoir, part historical fiction, part non fiction, part recipe/cook book, part my diary desu

Given how much the spergs splurge about GRRM's food shit, both good and bad, you're probably fine.

Sure. The target demographic are fat neckbeards, they'll enjoy reading about succulent duck roasts as they inhale hot pockets.
