Description
Food and love have had a long association, for Passionate Cooks: Free Recipes From Today’s Hottest Romance Authors, over 150 authors of the genre have put their pens and computers aside to don aprons, get down and dirty in the kitchen, and share their love of food.Much like romance novels themselves, the dishes range from spicy to sweet. There is something for every taste and every level of culinary expertise. The cookbook includes New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Mari Carr’s “Wild Irish” Cream of Crab Soup recipe. Western GBLT author BA Tortuga contributes a dish as spicy and colorful as the straight-shooting author herself with Ranch Hands—a blend of Tabasco, salsa, onions and cumin, added to pinto beans, eggs, Canadian bacon and cheddar cheese and served in a tortilla. And for those of you who are feeling extra creative and sexy, there’s the Avocado Dip that doubles as body paint from mystery writer Marcia James.
Some recipes are simple, such as Down Home Mac & Cheese, while some are more exotic, such as Spicy Shrimp Risotto. There are even some gluten-free selections, like the Sweet and Spicy Gluten-Free Lo Mein-ish Noodles from erotica author Sommer Marsden. And a few are perfectly timed for a Halloween, such as Tracey H. Kitt’s Gamberi del Diavolo or Shrimp of the Devil.
Kristie Leigh Maguire's recipe, Mama's Southern Chicken and Dressing, is included in Passionate Cooks. Kristie's 96 year old mother made this dish every Christmas but she was a true Southern cook making it with a pinch of this and a dash of that. Kristie translated her "pinches and dashes" into a recipe everyone could make.
Best of all, they are FREE! Click HERE to order.

Kristie,
ReplyDeleteFrom one Passionate Cook to another, thanks for this recipe. It sounds wonderful. I can't wait to order the cookbook and see everyone else's recipes. My name is Marilyn Baron and I write humorous paranormal short stories as well as women's fiction and romantic suspense. My recipe is Pasta Passionata Alla Carbonara, which I learned to make in Italy when I was a student in Florence. I hope you'll check out the Passionate Cookbook, as well as my books at http://www.petitfoursandhottamales.com/marilyn-baron/

Hi Kristie!
ReplyDeleteI am Rhonda Laurel, contemporary romance author and fellow Passionate Cook! My recipe Blissful Banana Pudding Trifle is a decadent dessert that I reserve for special occasions, like Thanksgiving. It’s the perfect time to make something insanely sweet and soothing and no one feels guilty for eating it! Cooking, to me, is just another form of creative expression. I am not surprised by the wonderful turnout for this cookbook.

Thanks for dropping by and sharing your recipe, Rhonda. Sounds fabulously sinful! :)

Yay! October 1st and the cookbook is out! I just gifted it to my Mom with the ARe gift feature, because I've been through too many tech support sessions by phone with her to think she could have found it on ARe all on her own. LOL
