A bright new talent makes her fiction debut with this first novel in a delicious crime series set in rural South Africa—a flavorful blend of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency and Goldy Schulz, full of humor, romance, and recipes, and featuring a charming cast of characters Tannie Maria ("tannie" meaning auntie, the respectful Afrikaans address for a woman older than you) is a middle-aged widow who likes to cook—and eat. She shares her culinary love through her work as a recipe columnist for the local paper, until the Gazette decides its readers are hungrier for advice on matters of the heart than for lunch and dinner ideas. Tannie Maria doesn't like the change but soon discovers she has a knack—and a passion—for helping people. Of course, a recipe is always part of the remedy she offers. Assisting other people with their problems, Tannie Maria is eventually forced to face her own issues, especially when the troubles of those she helps touch on the pain of her own past—like a woman who contacts her desperate to escape her abusive husband. When the woman is murdered, Tannie Maria becomes dangerously entwined in the investigation, despite the best efforts of a handsome detective named Kannemeyer, who is determined to keep her safe. Suddenly, this practical, down-to-earth woman is involved in something much more sinister than perfecting her chocolate cake recipe . . .

Re: Recipes For Love And Murder
Any recipe for a dessert is my favorite recipe. Even if the whole meal is ruined, as long as there is dessert, I'm happy. (Lisa L. 9:59pm November 2, 2015)
My favorites are those that are easy to make & that the family love to eat. (Mary Preston 4:30am November 3, 2015)
Easy and fast are the best recipes. (Rhonda Rogers 7:52am November 3, 2015)
My favorite recipe is the one that won my Husband over before he proposed to me. It's a special meat loaf with certain spices, and has a special tangy topping. Then I make special Polish mashed potatoes that have cheese, grilled onions that are chopped finely, and butter in them. I make home-made creamed peas for my vegetable. When my Husband (boyfriend) at the time, tried it, he was over the moon, and not that long afterward, he asked me to marry him!! I know it was for more than just my cooking, of course, but he filled me with compliments that day!! I also love to make stuffed cabbage, and make a mean beef stew that has gotten rave reviews from anyone who has eaten it. (Peggy Roberson 8:40am November 3, 2015)
It's got to be my Southern Fried Chile recipe (Deb Philippon 10:16am November 3, 2015)
My favorite recipe is a flourless chocolate cake with a raspberry sauce and slightly sweetened whipped cream. I adore it myself and it never failed to impress guests. (G. Bisbjerg 11:41am November 3, 2015)
My favorite recipe is for Indian fry bread served with honey. It's a special treat that is made only on holidays. (it is very high in fat that's why we don't have it often) (Carole Abel 4:54pm November 3, 2015)
I like pecan bites made with butter, powder sugar and pecans, rich and good (Jeri Dickinson 5:47pm November 3, 2015)
I really don't have a favorite , I love most foods . My grandkids love my homemade chili and my vegetable soup . They will ask me to please make it for them . I don't have a recipe , I just start out putting things in a big pot . I have had to change pots and get even bigger . Ha I love the winter months for cooking and always have something warm or hot to eat . (Joan Thrasher 10:53am November 4, 2015)
I have lots of favorites but the dessert I get asked for the recipe the most is the gooey peanut butter cake. (Pam Howell 11:14am November 4, 2015)
My favorite recipe is salmon and kale with roasted veggies. (Sharon Berger 12:40pm November 4, 2015)
My favorite recipe is the one that I made up myself. I didn't know what to call it so I called it "SLOP!" It is mexican and you eat it either on a tortilla shell or use it as a dip with doritos. It is perfect and it is great. Good luck everyone! (Renae Kelly 12:56pm November 4, 2015)
A chopped meat, eggs, potato mixed with evaporated milk, grated cheese, ranch dressing pored into a pie shell and baked. A delicious meat/egg/potato quiche. (Sandra Stipins 2:36pm November 4, 2015)
chicken is always good (Jeri Dickinson 3:04pm November 4, 2015)
Meatloaf! Ground beef, onions, eggs, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, can of rotel tomatoes. Mix all ingredients together to firm a loaf. Squire mustard and ketchup on top, spread evenly to combine mustard and ketchup. Bake in over of 350 for about 45 min to an hour. Yummo! (Terry Trahan 6:20pm November 4, 2015)
Vegan recipes! (Kelly Braun 2:54pm November 5, 2015)

A friend's recipe for lasanga. Marilyn (Marilyn Collins 6:02pm November 5, 2015)
most brownies with nuts (Jeri Dickinson 6:39pm November 5, 2015)
My favorite recipe is my grandmother's buttermilk biscuits. She tried to pass the recipe down to me before she passed away. However, she measured everything with her hands. I was still trying to get the same sized hands as her. Still crave those biscuits! (Amy Morgan 4:25pm November 6, 2015)
