The Nero Wolfe Cookbook
My favorite fictional detective, Nero Wolfe, is a noted gourmand with the best cook in NYC, Fritz Brenner. Food is always mentioned in the series as Fritz whips up another masterpiece for his boss. This book gives the reader the recipes for most of these dishes and it is a lot of fun. I can't imagine making any of them (and I like to cook) but braised starlings don't appeal to me and some of the seasonings are a little odd. But it is how the other half lives and eats and is an enjoyable look into Wolfe's kitchen.
