Thomas Berger — Reinhart's Women
Methuen 1981 Paperback. Carl Reinhart, fascinated with women ever since having been born to one, finds himself at close quarters and cross purposes with a variety of female persons. Among them his daughter Winona, a dynamic lady executive and her colleague, daughter-in-law Mercer and, wielding blades as sharp as ever, his ex-wife. But Reinhart has a trick or two left in him. What sets him apart is his skill on a court traditionally female--namely, cookery. In fact, he is so good that he attracts a television offer. (ISBN: 9780417073606). Good.
