About the book
A Unique Collection of Sherlock Holmes Stories
Sherlock Holmes of Baking Street is not your typical book featuring the famous detective. This anthology contains 37 essays, personal reflections, and short stories that use baking as a central theme, but it is not a cookbook. From unraveling a dinner mystery to decoding a secret recipe hidden within one of the original Holmes stories, this book takes readers on a culinary adventure like no other. With tales of kitchen fire mishaps, deadly flour, and the relationship between dopamine and baked goods, this collection offers a fresh perspective on Sherlock Holmes.
The mastermind behind this project is Margie Deck, a devoted Sherlockian and amateur baker who found inspiration in the pun of Baking Street and Baker Street during the lockdown baking craze. Teaming up with bestselling author and Sherlockian Nancy Holder, they have spent the last eight months gathering contributions from enthusiasts around the world. From Italy to India, Sweden to the US, this anthology brings together a diverse range of voices to explore the intersection of Sherlock Holmes and the world of baking.
Featuring interviews with screenwriter Jeffrey Hatcher and stunning illustrations by artist J. Scherpenhuizen, Sherlock Holmes of Baking Street showcases the talent and creativity of Sherlockian fans and seasoned writers alike.
