Culinary mysteries seem to be a large sub-subgenre of the cozy mystery subgenre. Diane Mott Davidson and Joanne Fluke are pretty prolific, and there are a lot of other titles in the mystery section at the library that seem to imply heavy food content, if not actual recipes. Cozy mysteries often appeal to older women (the large-type fiction section: home of cozy mysteries and westerns) who, I guess, also like to do a lot of cooking and baking, or at least thinking about food. It's much like you occasionally, though not nearly so often, find mystery novels that are also about knitting.
