Cooking With Christie: Quick Apple Cinnamon Buns
Inspiration: Thanks to my elementary school’s lunch lady, who loved adding way too many raisins for my liking and a brief stint in a supermarket bakery where I scooped the icing out of a five-gallon bucket with a gloved hand….My enjoyment of cinnamon rolls, in any iteration, declined significantly.
However, as more years than I care to count have passed since either instance was relevant in my…

Mrs. Todd’s cheque for a guinea was never cashed. Instead Poirot had it framed and hung on the wall of our sitting room.
“It is to me a little reminder, Hastings. Never to despise the trivial — the undignified. A disappearing domestic at one end — a cold-blooded murder at the other. To me, one of the most interesting of my cases.”
“The Adventure of the Clapham Cook” was first published in The Sketch, November 14, 1923.
Air date: January 8, 1989.

The above recipe comes from my great-grandmother, who managed a…

Agatha Christie's Poirot
The Adventure of the Clapham Cook
I fear you are making a mistake, Madame. Hercule Poirot is a private detective.
I know that. Haven't I just told you I want you to find my cook for me? Walked out of the
house on Wednesday without so much as a bye-your-leave and never came back.
I am sorry, Madame, but I do not touch that particular kind of business.
I wish you, good day.

Breaking Bread: Recipes and Stories From Immigrant Kitchens, is my latest read. The book, by Lynne Christy Anderson, a professor who teaches writing, is not new. It’s about 12 years old. However, it is still offers plenty of good insight into the role of food in immigrant households.
