I was so excited to get this advance copy of this book. Unforntaly I was unable to download it on kindle or my computer. I will look for it on Amazon.

This is a very enjoyable cookbook. I've read a few of Nancy Cohen's books but to make an entire cookbook from her cozy mysteries is a uniquely wonderful idea...or at least I've never seen it done before! Lots of feel good recipes to boost your carbs and banish your bad vibes will leave you smiling as you picture yourself inside the next book. My friends and I have booked an appointment to try out more of these great recipes!

It is my first time when I am reviewing a cookbook. Thank you NetGalley for this eArc in exchange for a review.
I love trying new recipes in my free time so when I saw this book I said let's see what is good! I did not expect that this book could feels so personal. At the beginning of every recipe you can find a short story about it.
It is a really cute cookbook with easy to do recipes. I can't wait to try some of them.

5 Stars! This little cookbook is full of delicious recipes! From garlic cheese biscuits and french onion soup to lemon bars and spiced peach cake. There aren't any pork options, but there are beef, lamb, poultry, fish, and even vegetarian recipes. Most of the recipes are simple enough for beginners and also some that are more advanced. There is something tasty for everyone. I enjoyed the little snippets of the cozy mysteries that were included and now I want to read the books! Thank you Netgalley for this cookbook.

This is such a cute cookbook, there is plenty here that would appeal to most people I also enjoyed the excerpts from the books that are throughout and ties the recipes to the story or gives a little more information about how foods are made.

My favourite section is probably the soups there are some fab recipes here but I am also quite excited to try the chicken mac n cheese.

This cookbook is a compilation of recipes included in the "Bad Hair Day" cozy mystery novels. Not having read the novels, I was curious about it, and have found 2-3 page excerpts of the novels in each section of the cookbook, giving me a great taste (pun intended) of the novels! The recipes are what I'd call "comfort food," but could work with almost any preferences. There's a section with vegetarian entrees, for instance, and various ethnic types of foods. It reminds me of the types of coookbooks put together by churches and other community groups for fundraising. That's not a bad thing. Some of my most favorite recipes came from just such cookbooks! I'd recommend this as a gift for a beginning cook or someone just starting out in their own home. Recipes are easy to follow with very few steps and basic ingredients. My only wish is that there were photos of the dishes.

The recipes in this cookbook are very manageable and appealing. Looking forward to trying them out. Enjoyed reading the excerpts and also the article at the end by the author’s mother. Should be a big hit with fans of the book.
