JOANNE FLUKE"S LAKE EDEN.

COOKBOOK.

BY JOANNE FLUKE.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

Hugs to Ruel, my in-house editor, who"s tasted

every single recipe in this book.

(It"s a tough job, but somebody"s got to do it!)

And hugs to the kids who"ve helped so much along the way.

Big kisses for the grandkids who learned, early on, that a

balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

Big bundles of thanks for the cookbook advice I received from

J.B., Gretchen, and the staff at Seattle Mystery Bookshop,

Linda. Patrick, and MaryElizabeth at Mysterious Galaxy in

San Diego, Barbara Peters and her staff at The Poisoned Pen in

Scottsdale, AZ, the launch party crowd at Mysteries to Die For

in Thousand Oaks, CA, and Mary Alice Gorman at Mystery

Lovers Bookshop in Oakmont, PA.

Thank you to my friends and neighbors who don"t seem to

mind doing a taste test now and then: Mel & Kurt, Lyn & Bill,

Lu, Gina & Fiona, Adrienne, Jay, Bob, Laura & Mark, Amanda,

John B., Judy Q., Dr. Bob & Sue, Richard & Krista, Mark B.,

Angelique, Daryl and her staff at Groves Accountancy,

and everyone at First Private Bank.

Special thanks to my superb Editor-in-Chief and valued friend,

John Scognamiglio.

Hugs all around to Steve, Laurie, Doug, David, Adam, Robin,

Karen, Adeola, Lesleigh, Vida, Darla, Rosanna, and all the other

folks at Kensington Publishing who keep Hannah sleuthing

and baking up a storm.

Thanks to Hiro Kimura, my talented cover artist, who"s

drawn scrumptious desserts for the covers of every

Hannah Swensen mystery.

(Take a look at the lovely map of Lake Eden he"s done for this

cookbook. Except for the murder rate, wouldn"t you just love

to live there?)
