Get 2 "Mystery Recipes" from Cleo Coyle's ROAST MORTEM


For quite some time now, Dave, that nice Kansas guy who writes the blog called My Year on the Grill, has been a very supportive follower of Mystery Lovers' Kitchen.

Not only have we appreciated Dave's insightful and witty foodie comments, but (as a former bookseller), he has been an enthusiastic supporter of our hard work as authors. And for that we totally love him.

About a month ago, Dave asked my permission to make and share two of the recipes from my new culinary mystery Roast Mortem. I happily granted it. (No cash, stocks, or chocolate coins were exchanged in this endeavor, I assure you.)

Dave's Roast Mortem recipe posts went live yesterday, and I found them both so entertaining (especially his "Prison Cell Block Tango" book tour idea for all of us) that I decided to do something special in Dave's honor. And so...

Cleo Coyle: cat lover, crime-writing
cook. When cornered, most likely
to say: "It's true officer. He ran
into my knife ten times."
I gave away a signed copy of Roast Mortem.



The "comment to win" contest is now over and the winner is...

"LAINESHOTS"
of 
"Somewhat Blurred" blog

Congratulations, Laineshots, you've won a signed copy of my new Cofffehouse Mystery, Roast Mortem. I hope you enjoy the read -- and the recipes. :)

 
So what ARE these "Mystery Recipes"
from ROAST MORTEM that Dave made?


"My Year on the Grill" Dave:
great cook, supportive reader,
loving father to
non-reading children.

  5. I'm all in favor of a "Merry Murderesses Cell Block Tango" book tour. Cleo, I can just see you in silver fringe!

    Dave's humor started my day off with a few good house-rousing laughs - and he's got good taste in books and recipes, too. Let's keep him.

  9. Not an entry but good gosh that dish looks amazing.

  10. I can't wait to read another installment of mysterious events in the life of Clare Cosi. I wish there was a "Village Blend" in my small town!!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I just can't resist mac n cheese! And the new book looks just as irresistible!

    @susan e. – Aw, thank you. The foodie photo is of my Osso Buco, a classic Italian dish that's also included in the Roast Mortem recipe section.

    @ambercat_13 – Food and mystery; coffee and crime: These are pairings that make my day.

    @Nurse Judy Mac – Glad to hear you also loved the Cell Block Tango. AND it's oh-so accurate. Crimes of passion are at the top of the charts for motives of murder. :)

    @Elizabeth/Riley – TY and in complete agreement with you. The Internet is a wonderful global “back porch” –- meeting Dave and so many other supportive readers has been a great experience for all of us “merry murderesses.”

    More replies to come.

    @Laineshots – I laughed out loud at the comment you left on The Krazy Kitchen blog! Giving up a new recipe under a swinging light bulb, now THAT is a culinary mystery subplot! (And silver fringe is perfect for me, thanks!) Cheers to you for making me laugh before noon, said the night owl writer.

    @Bookwoman – Wonderful to hear that. Enjoy the mini blog hop!

    @Zita – TY for commenting and for your nice words. I hope you enjoy the recipes. :)

    @Alicia F – You are more than welcome. Glad you liked the “tango” too.

    @Juju – You sweet thing! Thanks for dropping by.

    @Kathy – If there’s an independent coffee shop in or near your town, check it out. I think you’ll be surprised how much it has in common with the Village Blend. Almost all indie owners are very passionate about their life’s work. Cheers and thanks for your very kind comment. :)

    @Jeanne – Aw, thanks. Mac ‘n’ cheese is an American classic --and a staple of firehouse kitchens. I just had to include it in a culinary mystery inspired by and dedicated to New York’s firefighters. :)

    Read with joy!

  22. Love the pics that Dave has of the mac and chees, just really makes me want to try this recipe and the bacon OMG it can go with so many things.

  24. I am so glad that I was finally able to read The Coffeehouse Mystery series. Our small library took forever in loaning the books out. I have read them all except this last one. I am talking so much about coffee that I have gotten my husband hooked on trying a few of the coffeehouses around our house. Now I just need to work on getting him to read the books :-) Thank you for writing about a subject with such passion and details that I think and crave coffee all the time.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow, Dave, what a great job! Talk about getting the word out! You've done a great service for both Cleo's recipes AND not only her books, but mysteries in general. I found myself drooling more over your book collection than the recipes...

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love love your books!

    Now I am going to love your mac and cheese after I get to the grocery store and buy the ingredients I do not have.

    I love this blog too!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh that mac and cheese sounds and looks great but I can't wait for the recipe for the donut muffins!

    ReplyDelete
  28. A little reading, a lite snack, a nice hot cup of coffee with a twist of mystery. Who could resist your winning combination?! Count me in!!!
