Quintessential Cuisine
A downloadable book
This book helps you go from developing a "quintessential" dish in your culture to intuitively using that dish to add depth and cultural nuance to your world. It provides examples from both the real world and an imaginary one to demonstrate how this can be done, offers a series of prompts you can use, and it even comes with a bonus recipe!

The approach, summarized in Sagan’s quote, reminds me of this excellent, if bitter, short documentary: Ilha Das Flores, by Jorge Furtado (CW: deep despair regarding humanity)
I did not expect this approach at all, but found it to be actually very interesting. It points out things that may seem obvious, but for that reason we may not usually think about them. There, we really have guidance to think about food in its practical and social aspects. And we even get a recipe from the author's original world, which is really the cherry on top.
Wow. I was expecting more exemple of dishes, and less in depth societal world building, but I'm all here for it. That's an extremely impressive work.
