Most of the female detectives are sassy, to say the least. But I don't recall a plus-sized one.
If you can track down who she is, and/or the author, I'd appreciate it.
>Cuisine is interwoven throughout her tales<
That's precisely the premise of the book I'm working on. Those people (i.e,, the detectives) are obsessed with food. Most of the time the references have nothing to do with the story line or the immediate action.
It's almost as if all the authors had grown up poor and starving, so spare no opportunity to refer to food.
In one of them that I just finished, for instance, there's half a page taken up describing the household cook's preparations for baking a cake. Half a page! And the action has nothing to do with that passage.
Even Sherlock Holmes suffers from that syndrome. He's always telling Watson things like, "we'll have to take the train to Woofis-On-Tellingsworth. But let's have a sandwich, first."
