Product Description
It's a picture postcard December in Minnesota. Pristine white snow is glistening in the winter sunlight, and Main Street is brimming with festive holiday decorations. Best of all, it's the day Hannah's mother, Delores Swensen, is holding her annual Holiday Cookie Exchange at the Community Centre - catered by none other than The Cookie Jar! The whole Swensen clan, their friends, and members of "The Lake Eden Gossip Hotline", of which Delores is a founding member, have gathered for the delicious event. And as they share their favourite juicy tales of Lake Eden and its residents over coffee and dessert, they also share their favourite scrumptious cookie recipes - plus a mouth-watering menu of luncheon recipes...plus all the recipes from Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder to Carrot Cake Murder. Whether this is your first taste of Lake Eden, or you're back for another helping, you can now bring the irresistible flavours of The Cookie Jar into your very own kitchen.

Gotta love these recipes,
By
This review is from: Joanne Fluke's Lake Eden Cookbook (Hardcover)
As a reader of the Joanna Fluke mysteries, it is a treat to have the recipes collected in one place, rather than having to copy them out of the books. Joanna's recipes are the down-home kind that use real ingredients that I don't have to go out of my way to find.

Nice collectionodd recipes, inconvenient book format,

This review is from: Joanne Fluke's Lake Eden Cookbook (Hardcover)
I was so excited when Joanne Fluke decided to put some of her recipes all together in one book. I like the ones that she picked from her novels and she included 25 new recipes. The thing that frustrates me the most and is very annoying when trying to bake, is that the book does not stay open. The size and format (hardcover, plastic sleeve, and not very big) make it hard to stay on the right page so I am constantly having to "refind" the recipe I am using. Maybe with wear and tear the pages will stay down. I recommend removing the plastic protective sleeve as it just gets in the way. On another note, the map of Lake Eden is kind of neat.

"A Deliciously Delightful Addition to your "Hannah Collection",
By Nancy Narma "orange rose" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Joanne Fluke's Lake Eden Cookbook (Hardcover)
If you love, love, love Joanne Fluke and the Hannah Swensen adventures in and out of her bakery/café'; "The Cookie Jar" and have many times regretted that you didn't jot down a tempting recipe from one of her books...Regret no longer!! Your wishes have been answered with "The Lake Eden Cookbook". Besides tried and true collected recipesfrom approximately nine editions, this cookbook encompasses much, much more! You will find so much to enjoy and use; from snippets from some of her beloved books, baking tips, notes by Hannah, Lisa and even Grandma Knudsen, in addition to the mountain of recipes for mouth-watering goodies from appetizers and easy one dish meals to muffins, pies, cakes and of course, cookies, and beyond. I'm enthralled by the no-bake cookies at the moment and intend to make "Norwegian Chocolate Pizza" among others, as soon as the weather cools around our corner of Northeastern Pa. You will love this collection and it will be a wonderful addition to your cookbook shelf--one you will refer to time and time again..I know I will!

Not what I expected, yet highly enjoyable,
By Jackie-the-Greyhound - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
(even though I am about on par with Andrea in terms of cooking abilities--who knew that you had to take the innards out before cooking a chicken, or that there was even such a thing as a $100 cooking pan/dish/thingy you could so terribly scorch in the course of making Kraft Macaroni & Cheese that it would be ruined...)Seriously though, somehow I expected this to be the Lake Eden cookbook that was getting put together by Hannah for publication during the last few books. I expected, well a cookbook, including recipes that made enough sense that I might be able to do them (or convince my more kitchen-savvy husband to try). Reading the Hannah books always make my mouth water and I was looking forward to having the recipes in one place to wave under my husband's nose. Instead this is a series of recipes from the books (like I wanted) organized by type but located in between little snippets featuring the local residents (and yes, Andrea had yet another funny cooking attempt story). A bit of a Lake Eden bonus it turns out. Oh, and I read the Kindle version...and I was happy to see the footnotes were hyperlinked. In the regular books there would be asterisks and it was not intuitive for me to find the comments as all the asterisks were lumped together at the end (or was it the beginning) of the book in one section. Ultimately you could figure out the nut comment went with the recipe containing nuts, but it was not a simplified process. This book has numbered footnotes and they jump you right to the appropriate comment and, with a touch of the back button, you are where you left off. Much improved formatting! All I can say right now is mmmm....cooooookies... Highly Recommended! JTG 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful

Great little stories tied together,
By B. Brammer - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Joanne Fluke's Lake Eden Cookbook (Hardcover)
I love reading this series but especially this book. It was like getting to visit with friends. There are many little stories between the recipes (which as always are tempting and I can't wait to try). There is no murder or mystery but that is fine. Joanne Fluke did a great job of making it more than a cookbook. I am amazed at her talent for weaving stories and food together. Thank you Joanne.
