The third book is hot off the press, Bookplate Special, and it's an especially "foodie" entry in the series. Hope you'll give it a try.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859537032816186857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-47673290940048832062009-11-19T23:44:58.609+10:302009-11-19T23:44:58.609+10:30I don't think I've ever read a culinary co...I don't think I've ever read a culinary cozy.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-79800728354629774992009-11-19T23:21:25.123+10:302009-11-19T23:21:25.123+10:30Kerrie - There really have lots of culinary cozies...Kerrie - There really have lots of culinary cozies (love that term!) in recent years. In classic crime fiction, there's of course Lord Peter Wimsey - a true gourmand. And there's also Virginia Rich's Faith Fairchild series.

My favourite series was by Jerrilyn Farmer - the Madeleine Bean Catering mysteries (maybe 'cos of the name) - the character is a caterer in LA and there are big events with lots of Hollywood types and they're quite fun - there was one book where she catered for the tour of the Pope - I thought the details were great. <br /><br />But in terms of 'forgotten' (or at least classic) books the Nero Wolfe ones are always on about food - Wolfe is a real gourmet (and he eats like a horse too) and his food or his live-in chef feature heavily in some of the stories.Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.com
