The Gourmet Detective by Peter King

4.0

The Gourmet Detective is the first in a series with the character of the same name. A former chef who now is a food detective who spends time tracking down obscure ingredients, finding sources for supplies, and finding the origins or ingredients in dishes. He finds himself in over his head when there is a murder and now maybe he is a real detective. A culinary cozy with very detailed food, wine and music combinations. I enjoyed this a great deal. I will say that the book was published in 1996 and some references are representative of that time.
