What great fun it was to participate in this very worthwhile project and to discover that my fellow mystery writers are such fantastic cooks. The recipes are varied, well presented, and easy to follow. But even if you're not interested in stirring up something diabolically delicious, "A Taste of Murder" also serves up entertaining vignettes and bits of insider information with every recipe.
Great recipes from great writers. You simply must try Patsy Ward Burk's Taco Soup. You can't get thru the winter without it!
What a delightful book! Beside including some hiliarious recipes like "Susan Silverman's Boiled Water" from Robert B. Parker, there are interesting recipes from a number of mystery writers and places associated with mysteries. I plan to try the Tea Scones from Brown's Hotel (Agatha Christie's Bertram's Hotel) first. This is a must for mystery readers.
A Taste of Murder is a collection of recipes from today's top mystery writers.Some of the recipes in this book sound good (the "Spaghetti Angelica") but others are a waste of paper, like how to prepare boxed macaroni and cheese, how to boil water and how to make "beans on toast". It's a mystery why a few of these writers couldn't come up with more inventive recipes to share with their fans.Note to vegetarians: there are some meatless recipes in the book but many contain oysters, eggs or cheese. You may enjoy the "Night-in-the-Cooler-Eggplant Salad" or "Myron's Potatoe Latkes" .Not being a mystery buff, I would've liked to see a little more tie-in to the mystery books these authors write...something to entice me not only into the kitchen but into the library to check out a novel by one of the authors whose recipes are featured in this book.Another downside to this book is that there is no index, making it hard to locate a recipe quickly.Afternote: The "Spaghetti Angelica" sounded so good I decided to try it. It's a mix of cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, parsley and mushrooms (I left out the nutmeg) that you stir into spaghetti. I found it quite tasty!
