The Californer/10314912

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- What do you get when you mix a legendary detective, a touch of theatrical flair, and a passion for good food? The answer is The Sherlock Holmes Cookbook: A Delicious Twist on Classic Adventures, a new and extraordinary release from San Francisco Bay Area stage director, BroadwayWorld nominee, and award-winning advisor and artist John DeGaetano.

This isn't just another cookbook—it's a flavorful journey into Victorian London. Based on DeGaetano's popular Sherlock Holmes 10 Minute Stories series, the book blends culinary creativity with classic storytelling to offer readers an immersive experience that's equal parts mystery and mouthwatering delight.

🍽️ A Taste of Adventure
Drawing from the iconic voice of Dr. Watson and the atmospheric world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sherlock Holmes Cookbook features 27 original short story introductions and more than 100 Victorian-inspired recipes and beverage ideas. Whether it's a hearty fireside meal at Baker Street or a refined dish from a countryside inn, each entry invites readers to cook—and read—alongside Holmes himself.

🕵️‍♂️ Holmes the Gourmet?
While Sherlock Holmes is best known for his razor-sharp mind and crime-solving prowess, this cookbook reveals a more personal side of the detective—his appreciation for the comforting rituals of food and drink. DeGaetano's dishes include traditional stews, savory pies, puddings, appetizers, aromatic teas, and period-authentic beverages like punch and cordials—all thoughtfully imagined to reflect the tone and culture of the era.

🎭 From the Stage to the Page
As a seasoned theater director and playwright, DeGaetano brings a dramatic sensibility to every page. His theatrical background enriches the book's storytelling, while a full-color character gallery from the 10 Minute Stories Collectionadds visual flair and charm. This is a book as beautiful to behold as it is to cook from.
