Joanne Fluke's Lake Eden Cookbook: Hannah Swensen's Recipes from The Cookie Jar

Contains all recipes from (I believe) the first 17 Hannah Swensen books. Also included are recipes that aren't in her books. I was able to highlight and make comments on the recipes (I have the Kindle version). Once I try a recipe, I highlight the recipe's name. Then if I want to remember a hint or remember a change I made, I just leave a comment by the recipe name.

I purchased this book as a gift. Of course, I read it before gifting it. I was really surprised by this book. It was a fun read. There is actually a story interspersed throughout the recipes. I enjoyed it so much that I might actually purchase another copy for myself.

Joanne Fluke's Lake Eden Cookbook is short on story but long on recipes. It has all the recipes from the first eight or nine Hannah Swenson books with a little bit of a story thrown in to make it interesting. I am working my way through most of her cookie recipes so it is nice to have them in one place. Even if you are not a murder/mystery buff like myself this little cookbook is delightful. And it is not just cookie recipes. There are several casserole dishes included but in Minnesota they are called Hot Dishes.

I love Hannah Swensen books!With that said, I am disappointed with this book. I’m sure the recipes unit are good, but it is a very small fraction of the recipes mentioned in the books, and they aren’t the ones I would have chosen. A LOT of lemon and other fruit recipes, which is disappointing for a main character who thinks chocolate solves all sorts of problems! lolThe quality of the book is a little iffy.I probably wouldn’t have bought it if I could have previewed it first.

Love the recipes, but disappointed with the amount of quantity produced. I followed the recipeAnd at the end say how much it made. It would be nice to have a conversion chart to make a family sized helping instead of 15 dozen. I know i should have checked first, but it was the holidays and I was baking with my granddaughter and was distracted. Not sure if I recommend this book because Of all the conversions you need to do to them all

I was very disappointed with the quality of this cookbook. The paper used lets the print on the back side of the page show through. I can't imagine how the book will hold up with years of use, as spills and splashes on a cookbook happen. All of my Hannah Swenson books are on my Kindle, which is not an easy format to use for the recipes. Another problem I have is that the cookbook does not have a cookie recipe I wanted from the most current Hannah Swensen book. Will you send the recipe to those of us who have purchased any of Joanna Fluke's cookbooks?

I enjoy J. Fluke's stories and recipes. The cook book content met my expectations based on the novels I read and bought. However this cookbook had been on back order and I don't know if they rushed a reprint or what but this is the worst book I have ever seen or held in my hands. The pages are stiff and tend to clump and the edge cuts are anything but uniform. They turn okay and I can use it as is, but I will not be giving this book as a gift

Wonderful cookbook that contains all of Hannah Swenson's famous Cookie Jar dessert recipes. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is a fan of the Hannah Swenson series, and who is gifted in the art of baking, or just loves her recipes (to make or just admire!).The only problem I have with this product is that I wish it was laid out in cookbook form; as in, if it was larger and perhaps would lay better. I have the Mass Market Paperback version which is very difficult to read and refer to when in the kitchen.

Undoubtedly, the best book on my shelves! There is a story in there too and a map of the home of Hannah Swensen. Whether or not you enjoy reading the series by Joanna Fluke, you will love the recipes attached to this book. I am working my way through them, there are so many and all amazing. Not just cakes and cookies but savoury dishes too. Please bare in mind when making cookie recipes, that the character in this book makes them to sell. The first time I made a recipe, I ended up with 96 cookies. Living on my own,I ended up selling them for charity. And let me tell you, EVERY SINGLE person thought they had been bought from the shops! Of course, I now want to quit my job and start a similar business, but that won't happen until I win the lottery. For now, I will have to satisfy myself with working through this amazing book. I hope the author makes more because this one is becoming my bible and I don't know what I will do when I have made all of the recipes, other than make them all again!

If you like the recipes in Joanne Fluke's murder books you will like this. Only four stars because not keen on the quality of the paper in this paperback.

Loads of fab ideas

excellent

The recipes are fabulous, of course, but what I didn't expect was the wonderful stories that gave insights into the inhabitants of Eden Lake. A must reed for any Joanne Fluke fan!
