Author Launches Gourmet Food Website Run by Mystery Series’ Heroine-Detectives

The fictional Three Angels Gourmet Co. becomes reality in a new web-based venture. The “actual” business sells its "heavenly gourmet mixes" to specialty food stores, gift shops, and individuals throughout the United States.

[ClickPress, Sun May 20 2007] Author Suzanne Lieurance has created virtual characters to run the Three Angels Gourmet Co., and to distribute its gourmet dip, cookie and scone mixes via the Web. The new venture is the perfect outlet for Lieurance to creatively combine her two great passions – writing and food.

Lieurance established Three Angels in 2001 to help "people on the go" enjoy high quality, delicious dips and baked goods. Each mix provides the dry ingredients required for the recipe, making preparation fast and painless. For the company's most popular product – Divine Dill Dip Mix – just add sour cream, stir, and chill for a few hours before serving. For the baked goods, preheat the oven, prepare the mix, and fill the appropriate baking dish. It couldn't be easier.

"As the actual owner of a gourmet food business and a freelance writer," explains Lieurance, "I thought it might be fun to create some virtual characters to run the Three Angels Gourmet Co. online. So, I made up the town of Seven Cedars, Florida. And Ireland Reynolds, Daisy Benson, and Delphine Gray were born to run the online division of the business."

Three Angels' offerings include Divine Dill Dip Mix, Sun-Blessed Tomato Herb Dip Mix, Heavenly Jar Bar Mix, a sugar cookie mix, and several varieties of scone mixes. Ireland Reynolds, the "virtual" chef behind these culinary creations also regularly offers additional recipes and serving suggestions on the site, while Daisy Benson suggests "gotta have" kitchen gadgets, and Delphine Gray gives "fabulous" food tips for readers to try at home.

In keeping with the creative spirit of her venture, Lieurance will sponsor a monthly Culinary Mini-Mystery Contest. Readers are invited to submit their own culinary mini-mystery based on the Three Angels Gourmet Co. and the lives of Ireland, Daisy, and Delphine. A brief biography of the trio is available at the website, and each mystery must contain food tips or recipes. Each month’s winner will receive a box of gourmet goodies from the angels, and their story will be converted into an e-book and featured online at the Three Angels Gourmet Co.
