The Cozy Cookbook {+ Giveaway}


The Cozy CookbookI’m thrilled today to tell you about a new cookbook featuring numerous cozy murder mystery authors and recipes from their bestselling series that releases tomorrow (April 7).

In addition, thanks to the lovely Danielle at Penguin Group, I have a copy of the cookbook to giveaway to a lucky visitor. Please see the end of the post for more details. Now let me share my thoughts on this fun book.


If you love good food and enjoy an intriguing murder mystery, then there’s a new cookbook perfect for you.

THE COZY COOKBOOK: More Than 100 Recipes from Today’s Bestselling Mystery Writers is filled with delicious recipes, as well as excerpts from New York Times bestselling authors and Berkley Prime Crime favorites.

The tasty recipes are from numerous cozy murder mystery series you love. The cookbook is divided into the following categories: Breakfast; Breads, Muffins, and Other Baked Goods; Soups, Salads, and Sandwiches; Drinks; Appetizers; Main Courses; Side Dishes; and Desserts. Sprinkled throughout the recipes are tasty morsels from these favorite series to whet your mystery taste buds.

THE COZY COOKBOOK also includes a list highlighting the series featured in the book with all the books in the series listed. There is also a section featuring the bios of all the authors participating in the cookbook. The authors include: Avery Aames/Daryl Wood Gerber, Ellery Adams, Connie Archer, Leslie Budewiz, Laura Childs, Cleo Coyle, Victoria Hamilton, B.B. Haywood, Julie Hyzy, Jenn McKinlay, and Paige Shelton.

This delightful cookbook will reunite you with some of your favorite mystery characters and hopefully introduce you to a few new ones. The delectable recipes are written in an easy-to-follow format making the preparing process more fun. The only downside to this charming book is there are no photos of the prepared dishes to drool over.

THE COZY COOKBOOK is a perfect addition to the mystery/food lovers’ kitchen collection.

  11. Hi Mason - this sounds like an essential cookbook for any lover of food, and lover of cozy crime .. up my street - except (boo hoo) I don't qualify ...

    Pity about the photos though .. I can see they'd add costs to the book - but just really entice readers and buyers in ...

    Cheers - sounds a very good read - Hilary
