Do you enjoy the sweet taste and texture of the perfectly baked chocolate chip cookie?  One that doesn’t have too many chocolate chips, but not too few – so that you can savor the chocolate in each bite, around the bit of vanilla cookie?

Or do you enjoy cooking, and sharing what you have cooked; trying new recipes; experimenting with ingredients?

Then you might enjoy the next few books I am going to recommend. No, they are NOT recipe books, though they have recipes in them. The protagonist in each is a cook, chef, or baker. And all of the mysteries include recipes that are served in the books!

These books with culinary themes are a joy for a cook who likes to read!

Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swensen Mysteries are the most MOUTH WATERING culinary mysteries out there. I always have to try her recipes before I’m even done with the books.

Something funny – Once I took one of these books out on CD (audiobook) from the library (if you want to know, it was The Apple Turnover Murders).

The reader of the audio book was great – and even better, spoke with the accent of the book’s location – Minnesota.  All I could think of was an old SLN skit, “Pat and Patty’s Backpack Shack”.  If you know what the accent sounds like, just try saying that out loud.

Goldy Schulz is a caterer who stumbles over murders, and solves them, despite her son, her rude ex-husband, and her new catering business.  Throughout the life of the series, Goldy goes from divorcee to dating diva, falling into murder mysteries, and solving them!

Those are just 2 of the authors of mysteries with a culinary theme. Look at your local library or bookstore for more!

And as usual, if you have a favorite culinary mystery,  of a favorite book in any genre, please post it in the comments.

Thank you!
