Ballard, Juliet Blackwell, Duffy Brown, Mollie Bryan, Shelley Costa, Carola Dunn, Monica Ferris, Sally Goldenbaum, Carolyn Haines, Miranda James, Camille Minichino, Tamar Myers, Nancy J. Parra, Ann Purser, Melissa Bourbon Ramirez, and Elaine Viets. The list is a veritable Who’s Who of Cozy Mystery writing!

Thanks for letting us know, Danna. Already got mine! Inexpensive. I love reading cookbooks but, strangely hate to cook. Be nice to see what I want to make out of it.

Marion, I have to admit that I don’t like to cook, and reading cookbooks makes me hungry, which starts a vicious cycle of: This recipe looks delicious, I should cook this, but I don’t like to cook, but it looks delicious, repeat, repeat, repeat!
Marie says
I LOVE to cook and will no doubt add this book to my enormous collection of cookbooks.

Marie, when I read the information about Cozy Food, I saw that it has a really original idea. I love that the Cozy Mystery authors provide background on their recipes.

Pat, thanks for letting us know!
Duffy Brown says
I’m thrilled to be part of Cozy Food. Had a blast putting together the recipe, a bit about my books and having a chance to connect with readers in this fun way. And of course all the great recipes. Just gave two books as birthday presents to cozy lovers. A special treat indeed.

Duffy, what a novel idea this was, to not just have the recipes but also to have back-stories from the Cozy Mystery authors.
Joyce Ann says
I love being in the book, I love the recipes, and I love the information about all the cozy mystery writers. Hooray, Nancy Jarvis, for putting this together.

I was delighted and honored to be included in the “Cozy Food” cookbook. The book is jam-packed with recipes I can’t wait to try. There goes my diet!

How did I miss this post for so long? I’ve started trying some of the recipes and have found several winners. My favorite part of the cookbook is definitely what the authors have to say about themselves and their recipes; my to read list is growing.
