Joanne Fluke invites you to celebrate the holidays with Hannah Swensen and friends at Lake Eden, Minnesota’s annual cookie exchange!
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 Center—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 favorite juicy tales of Lake Eden and its residents over coffee and dessert, they also share their favorite scrumptious cookie recipes—plus a mouth-watering menu of luncheon recipes, including:
*Kiss My Grits Cookies
*Peanut Butter & Jelly Pie
*Norwegian Pizza
*Minty Marvels
*Double Chocolate Puffs
. . . plus all the recipes, from Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder to Pink Lemonade Cake Murder. Whether this is your first taste of Lake Eden, or you’re back for another helping, you can now bring the irresistible flavors of The Cookie Jar into your very own kitchen!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jam-packed with recipes from her beloved Hannah Swensen Mystery series, Fluke s most recent work is simply superb. Delores Swenson s 4th Annual Christmas Cookie Exchange luncheon is coming up, and her daughter Hannah, part owner of popular Lake Eden, Minnesota bakery and coffee house The Cookie Jar, is busy putting the last minute touches on her catering menu. While preparing the food, her phone rings with friends and luncheon guests requesting copies of Hannah s recipes. Everyone in town, it seems, believes she makes the best of everything and wants to learn her secrets. At the last moment, Hannah decides to make a quick recipe book for everyone at the party. Fluke uses her experience to guide readers through an afternoon with the gals, comparing notes on their favorite Hannah Swensen recipes and telling stories about friends--Andrea, a disaster in the kitchen; Winnie, who learned the true size of a cocktail the hard way; and Gladys, who, despite her best efforts, can t escape the Minnesota cold for a California dream. As the women skim through the cookbook together, their stories and the recipes meld with stunning ease. Hannah s Notes appear in each recipe, lending personality to simple instructions. Newcomers and longtime fans of Fluke will find plenty to enjoy in this latest dispatch from Lake Eden. The characters are incredibly lovable and the community quickly welcomes readers into a world of friends, fun, and of course food.
