I discovered Diane Mott Davidson’s culinary mysteries in the
early 90’s, when a friend recommended “Dying for Chocolate.” I devoured her
novels as soon as they were published – about one per year. She stopped writing
altogether about six years ago. I began reading Joanne Fluke’s books in 2002.
Her murders were not quite so compelling, and her recipes were almost all
cookies and cakes. But there was a new novel every six months. It wasn’t long
before my bookshelves began straining under the weight. I wasn’t re-reading
them (Who does that, when you already know who done it?) so eventually I gave
them all to a thrift shop. I wish I’d
copied my favorite recipes before it did that. Here’s one I haven’t forgotten:
Dill Sauce
Mix 2 tablespoons cream and 1/2 cup mayonnaise till smooth.
Stir in 1 teaspoon dill weed. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Serve
with poached salmon or crab cakes.
