Once upon a time, I thought everything about food could be learned from a Mary Higgins Clark suspense novel.
It started with the lavish dinner of watercress salad, lamb loin chops and “piping hot” asparagus “under a delicate hollandaise” that Dr. Edgar Highley, the villain in Clark’s early novel “The Cradle Will Fall,” prepared for himself as he recalled all the women he had murdered.
Then there were the swanky Washington, D.C., parties in another early book, “Stillwatch,” with buffets of caviar and sturgeon, Virginia ham and “hot biscuits.” And the steak sandwiches that characters were always ordering from the Manhattan Irish pub Neary’s.
