Clobbered by Cherry Cobbler
Courtney Archer has become known to her fans from the TV cooking show, The Farmer’s Daughter. Just one catch – she is actually the daughter of a doctor from Chicago. She hates keeping this secret, but is even more worried when her secret is discovered. The man who makes the discovery is Mick, one of the contestants on The American Baking Battle, a new show that Courtney is co-hosting. Courtney isn’t the only one having issues with Mick. Still, Courtney doesn’t expect to find his dead body on the second day of filming. Worse yet, Mick was hit over the head with a pan of Courtney’s cherry cobbler. Who killed him?

This book started out well, and I was quickly hooked. The setting is a lot of fun, and the characters are wonderful. I was drawn to Courtney and wanted her to succeed. I enjoyed watching her friendship with another character grow, and her producer is a strong character as well. The plot started out strongly, setting up suspects and the victim before killing Mick off. Unfortunately, there weren’t enough suspects to sustain it, and the twists and clues were fewer than they needed to be in favor of time spent on the set of the baking show watching everything being filmed. I suspect the characters and setting will be strong enough to draw people to this new series, but I hope the plots get stronger as the series progresses.

Breaking Breads by Uri Scheft is a book full of many new and interesting breads. The recipes are easy to follow. The photos are wonderful.

The sections on baking at home was very good and one of the best I have read. His explanation on how to knead dough was helpful.

The book has great step-by-step pictures and fairly simple instructions for the recipes. The photos are great for intimidating for a novice baker.

The entire book was thoughtfully put together with clear explanations and helpful tips along the way. Step by step pictures were also included (super helpful for the above-mentioned apple strudel) as were suggestions for achieving perfect bakery-likeconsistency.

THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT!!!

All baking recipes are themed on Game of Thrones with an artistic or puntastic edge to them.

From Hot Pie’s Wolfbread (a basic wholemeal bread, shaped into a wolf like he did on the show) and Sansa’s Lemon Cakes to a Red (velvet) Wedding Cake (3 tier cake with ‘blood’ pouring down the side) and the one I really REALLY wanna try myself Oberyn’s Smashing Surprise (long story short a decorated chocolate shell filled with red jelly so you can re-enact the scene and squish it open with your fingers, just like The Mountain did to Oberyn’s skull, mwahahahahaaa).

Oh yes, I shall be making a few of these recipes.
