Book Description
From Publishers Weekly
How better to unwind from prodding the dead all day than to feed living, breathing friends and relatives? Bestselling mystery author Patricia Cornwell's Food to Die For: Secrets from Kay Scarpetta's Kitchen offers favorite
recipes from the intrepid medical examiner (Cornwell's series heroine), Scarpetta's colleagues Marino and Rose, niece Lucy and various restaurants. Marlene Brown, Cornwell presents dishes from her mystery titles, preceded by brief relevant excerpts from
each one. Italian sausage pizza from Postmortem is followed by 28 more feasts, including Pollo al Limone (shared by Scarpetta and Wesley Benton as they tracked a New York serial killer on Christmas) and Marino's Breakfast Bagel Sandwich from Point of
Origin. Sections on olive oil, pasta and tomatoes, lists of the contents of Kay's pantry and freezer and 40 full-color photographs vivify her culinary secrets.

Book Description
Scarpetta doesn't just chitchat with Benton Wesley before
their Hilton Head holiday in Point of Origin-she instructs him to stock up on South Carolina pecans, tomatoes, and Vidalia onions! Snowbound in a tiny cottage by the sea in Cause of Death, Kay taps into her Italian heritage to celebrate New Year's with a
delectable lasagne for Lucy and Marino.
Fans of Kay Scarpetta know that this crime solver extraordinaire unwinds and recharges in the kitchen. After a heroic day on the job, she often escapes home to delicious food and wine with family and
friends.
Inspired by the dozens of food scenes in Kay's kitchen and favorite restaurants, Food to Die For is a cookbook tailor-made for Scarpetta fans. Among the criminally good recipes: Miami-Style Chili with Beer (All That Remains)
Grilled
Grouper with Butter and Key Lime Juice (Cruel & Unusual)
Jack Daniel's Chocolate-Pecan Pie (The Body Farm)
Lasagne with Marinara Sauce and Porcini Mushrooms (Cause of Death)
Bev's Lump Crab Cakes (Unnatural Exposure)
Kay's Grilled Pizza with
Sausage, Pepperoni, and Three Cheeses (Black Notice)
Also recipes from Lucy, Marino, and Rose, as well as from restaurants in Richmond, Washington, D.C., New York, London, and Paris.
Brimming with full-color photographs of
Scarpetta-inspired culinary creations, Food to Die For adds a new dimension to the novels that keep us reading through the night.
