5.0 out of 5 stars The food books are the best!, Oct 17 2003
By Avid Reader (Franklin, Tn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Too Many Cooks (Paperback)
The famous detective is also a famous gourmand. Anyone familiar with the series is aware that occasionally, the reader is given recipes straight out of the kitchen of Nero Wolfe. These recipes are a pretty accurate reflection of the times in which they originated - turtle soup (on the endangered list now), Steak Delmonico, etc...

This tale takes place at a meeting of chefs and the key to the solution is being able to detect ALL the ingredients in a particular dish. This is a clever, witty and very satisfying read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slapstick Wolfe, Aug 3 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Too Many Cooks (Audio Cassette)
This is a landmark Wolfe mystery for the true fan, but new readers may find it dated, with a thin plot. It is Stout's first real shot at playing Wolfe for laughs, and also marks Archie's emergence as a mature and witty observer- unlike the more naive Goodwin of previous books (eg The Rubber Band, The Red Box) for whom the heroine is out-of-reach. The setting is farcical but still has a nice 30s period feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it, Nov 25 1998
By A Customer
One of Stout's best and one of the most fun reads I have ever had. It is hilarious, full of interesting characterizations, and plotted well enough to carry it through. Great fun!
