Lots of delicious recipes. This had a Hannah Swenson short story included that takes place at a cookie exchange close to Christmas with lots of Lake Eden characters. The short story was broken up so that you would read 2 pages, then there would be 10 pages of recipes, then another page of story, then 15 pages of recipes… it made it a bit tricky to follow what was going on and I might have preferred for formatting purposes if the recipes had all been in one section, and the story been all together. But nonetheless I enjoyed reading.

Hannah and Lisa are catering Delores’s annual Christmas Cookie Exchange luncheon. There’s yummy food, lots of chatter, gossip, and red-faced baking mishap admissions from Andrea and Claire, all wrapped around the recipe book that Hannah has prepared for each of the ladies attending the luncheon.

Readers will find recipes for everything from appetizers to pies, cakes, and cookies, along with a wonderful map of Eden Lake, a cute sketch of The Cookie Jar, baking tips, substitutions, snippets and comments from the Lake Eden folks, and much, much more. Readers will recognize some of the recipes from previous books; other recipes are new to this cookbook.

Readers who are interested in recipes from The Cookie Jar will find much to appreciate here. ( )

If you enjoy the Joanne Fluke mysteries and don't mind Hannah's chattiness when delivering the recipes, you may enjoy this compilation of recipes which appeared in the series. It also includes a few excerpts from the novels as well as a map of Lake Eden. ( )

I love this series and I'd been hoping that a cookbook would be released, but I'm disappointed. I wasn't expecting
it to be printed as a novel. I was hoping for an actual cookbook. Im removing it from my Christmas list now. ( )

JOANNE FLUKE’S LAKE EDEN COOKBOOK by Joanne Fluke
Love Joanne Fluke books and just thought this would be a recipe book but I was wrong. There is a story in there
about the cookie swap they have. It's easy to keep track of everybody over the years and I love these series.
Book also includes a hard copy of a recipe along with all the recipes from the Cookie Jar which Hannah runs in Lake Eden.
Love how the recipes give you not only tips on how to make them but other most useful tips on brands, measurements and how to serve-hot or cold and anything else she feels might be needed. I can't wait to try some of the ones in this book.
Love hand drawn pictures of different vegetables, dishes, etc. I wish this book was spiral bound so the print would be bigger and it'd fit on my recipe holder better.
Can't wait to make the Angel Kiss Cookies. Love the tip about the size of baking pans!
Loved hearing all the stories they shared while feasting at the cookie swap. The stories brought a smile to my face!
Love end result of the charity.
I received this book from The Kennsington Books in exchange for my honest review ( )
