I'm trying to track down a series of mystery novels to surprise my mother with this Christmas.
The only known details: these are books she read years ago, wherein the lead character solved crimes, but also (and more importantly) described in detail the amazing sandwiches he was making. Any guesses?

Yes, jquinby has it - it has to be Edward X Delaney in the deadly sins series by Sanders.

Nero Wolfe has a general food obsession, so might be it, but there isn't a specific focus on sandwiches.

Sorry, curious, definately not Nero Wolfe: I've long been an avid Rex Stout reader, and can say for sure that this isn't his.

Robert B. Parker's Spenser was a foodie, and often made sandwiches.

Response by poster: It looks like Deadly Sins is the answer. Thank you all, and the Abebooks order has been placed.
