THE FOODS
IN ANGIE'S KITCHEN
Who could forget the recipes
in SOMETHING'S COOKING, the book that introduced Angelina Amalfi and San Francisco
Homicide Inspector Paavo Smith to the world? Recipes for pureed brussels sprouts
over poached eggs, or sauerkraut chocolate cake, plus references to marshmallow and bean
sprout blintzes, peanut butter omelets and liver-pate waffles were featured.
Delicious recipes and top San
Francisco restaurant menus are discussed in later books (except, perhaps, for a few
soymilk and beancurd "delights" in COOKING UP TROUBLE). Chocolate, chocolate and
more chocolate caused some serious reader salivating in COOK'S NIGHT OUT.
But Angie doesn't want any of
you to think she isn't a terrific cook, so she promises that on this very spot, she'll
present her

wings you'll ever taste.
