I'm surprised no one mentioned The Cook yet. The story takes place in a village in which there's 2 big families, the Vales and the Hills. The Hills are a 4 person family -father, mother, son and daughter- and are described as tall and wealthy, but not really fat. The Vales, on the other hand, is a 3-persons family -father, mother, daughter- and are rather poor and in poor health, but the daughter happens to big extremely fat. Obviously, the main character -Conrad- is a cook, and at the beginning of the book, he just starts working for the Hills. But Conrad happens to be a genius mastermind in addition to his incredible cooking skills (this guy is seriously overpowered), and manages to transform the whole village to his liking. And he fattens the Hills daughter up to incredible proportion through the course of the story, and manages to marry her. At the end of the book, the girl is so huge she has troubles walking on her own. In addition to being a nice FA oriented story, it's a really fine piece of literature. Even though I found the end a little bit disturbing...
