The mystery subgenre of culinary mysteries. The detective is usually a caterer, cook, or otherwise professionally concerned with cooking. There are recipes, either in the story itself or in an appendix. I'd think that a caterer whose clients or clients' guests kept dying would be out of business after a while. But maybe not. -- Dan Goodman Journal http://dsgood.blogspot.com or http://www.livejournal.com/users/dsgood/ Whatever you wish for me, may you have twice as much. |

Thomas Berger, author of Little Big Man, wrote a series of novels about a
character named Reinhart. I remember Reinhart In Love, and Reinhart's Women. Berger's books are great reads: dark comedy, social satire...great stuff. Reinhart's obsessions include women and cooking. Thanks for reminding me of his books, I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed reading him. -- Sam ( Change "invalid" to net to reply ) "Kenneth Leja" > wrote in message om... > It's fruitcake weather, it's fruitcake weather. |

Yeah, very erudite too. Lanchester was food critic for The Observer (a British Sunday newspaper) so it makes sense his first novel would be one where food plays such an important role. |

Gerald Durrell's books about his family (Birds, Beasts, & Relatives,
Family & Fauna, and the title I can never remember) as well as many stories in other collections feature food prominently and lyrically. |

Joanne Harris has published a delicious book called:
"Five Quarter of the Orange" I devoured this novel and i strongly recommend it to anyone. I haven't read her other novels yet but i know a lot of them involves good food: -Chocolat (there's a movie with Juliette Binoche & Johnny Depp from this novel) -Blackberry Wine She has also published a recipe book "My French Kitchen: a book of 120 treasured recipes" |

*The Life of Pi*; particularly if you are a carnivore. |

Lots of detail on the food - smells and tastes - as well as the hard work of a chef's life. Also the details of L.A. are meticulously described. I don't really know that city at all but now I *have* to visit the area around UCLA and see what the Middle Eastern neighborhood is all about. If you like Isabel Allende you will like this novel.
