What's Cooking?

No, you're not in the wrong place.

I'm over at Mystery Lovers' Kitchen today, talking about the cooking that goes on in What's in a Name? I've included excerpts and a recipe, so please stop by.

The Deliciousness of Research

I'm over at Naughty Author Chicks today, talking about the shady boundaries between romance sub-genres. While I'm gone, my guest today is Avery Aames, whose sharing some of her tasty research. I love foodie posts!

I am writing a series called A Cheese Shop Mystery that features a cheese shop owner as the amateur sleuth. To be authentic, I have to research cheese. That’s right, taste cheeses as research. All kinds of cheeses. In a variety of recipes. Oh, poor me. Oh, lucky day!

When I landed this series, I had no idea about the wealth of cheeses. Sure, I had tasted the usual suspects: Cheddar, Edam, Gouda, Roquefort, Feta. But did you know there are so many varieties of cheese that you can eat a different one every day of the year—or maybe three years? From all fifty United States as well as from around the world. With cool names like – Etorki, Taleggio, Roaring 40’s blue. From cheese makers with unusual names like Cowgirl Creamery, Cypress Grove, Kerrygold, and more.

Father's Day and Key Lime Pie

First - a very Happy Father's Day to my dad. Although we can't be together, I'm thinking of you.



And I'm over at the Mystery Lovers' Kitchen today, talking about food. Specifically, Key lime pie, a treat I discovered when we moved to Miami and we had a key lime tree in our yard.

Please stop by if you have time. You'll find not only recipes, but also book excerpts.
