This is the fifth and probably my favorite of the Gourmet Detective series, which turns the hallmark mystery genre around by having the male lead be the non-detective consultant.
"More than happy to return to my usual culinary work."-Henry
This episode is around a missing Chef's Book from the famous San Francisco institution Belvedere's Fine Dining. The restaurant has been closed for ten years and the chef's book has been missing for years. The mysterious chef's book is going up for auction. Our Gourmet Detective gets hired to determine the authenticity and bid for a client if it is real. Meanwhile, real detective Maggie is missing her daughter, Abby, who is in college and is excited about taking Henry to his first Giants game.
"No a Chef's Book. It's like a cookbook, but much more important and far more detailed."-Henry Ross
At the auction they find out it has been sold out from under everyone before the auction. The sale is private...but that doesn't stop a plucky food critic and young creole chef of the Creole Rooster. Helpful Maggie gets the buyer's info for Henry...in order for him to help his client. While they are bickering about Maggie needing a hobby, they discover a dead body in the buyers' antique shop. ...the chef's book is missing and the mystery is afoot!
"Chef's book! There is a difference!"-Henry.
Light, breezy, filled with good natured joking around. The Gourmet Detective is a fun watch on Hallmark Movies and mysteries.
