In one significant sideplot, Mitzi tells the police that she heard Rudi Scherz talking to a woman whom she assumed to be " Phillipa Haymes". She later gave the recipe to Phillipa Haymes, but said that the recipe was not to be shared with Julia, because Julia had ruined her omelette pan. She is known for making a chocolate cake that Patrick Simmons, much to her dismay, calls " Delicious Death". She then said that she would not let Julia use her kitchen. On one occasion, she became upset with Julia Simmons, because she had used a certain frying pan for frying onions, when Mitzi used it only for making omelettes. She is temperamental, and often becomes upset with other people. She has dark eyes, and dark hair, which she wears in plaits wound round her head. She is described as "a tempestuous young woman with a well-developed bosom. She also thought that the Nazis, or perhaps the Bolsheviks, were coming to kill her. She claimed that her mother, her little brother, and her sweet little niece all had been killed. She is a fugitive from an unspecified European country (in “Mittel Europe”). In the novel A Murder is Announced, Mitzi is the cook/housekeeper at Little Paddocks in Chipping Cleghorn.
