Bruno's Cookbook, by Martin Walker and Julia Watson.
Bruno is the protagonist of a series of cozy mysteries by Walker. In addition to his day job of policeman in a small town in Perigord, he coaches rugby and tennis, rides his horse, has romantic encounters and most of all, cooks mouth-watering meals for his numerous friends, at least once in each of the (so far) 18 books in the series. This beautifully illustrated cookbook collects recipes for some of the dishes that appear in the books, along with commentary written by Walker as if Bruno and others were real persons. (The recipes were developed by Julia Walker, a British food writer who is Walker's wife. They live part of the year in London and part in the village of Vezere, France.)
