Lucky Harbor #2.4
Heating Up the Kitchen: Recipes with Love from Lucky Harbor
Hello Readers,
Thanks for coming to Lucky Harbor. I'm sure your presence has already been noted by Lucille and the rest of her blue-hair posse and will shortly be posted on their Facebook page. Hope you don't have toilet paper stuck to your shoe.
Or any secrets...
In these pages are recipes on how to catch a man, how to cope with sisters, and bunches of wisdom. Whoops, sorry. Wrong book. (See either Simply Irresistible, The Sweetest Thing, or Head Over Heels).
There are, however, some fantastic recipes from my very own kitchen, and in the cooking of these recipes, I can guarantee you a culinary experience that will make you forget your troubles.
Happy cooking, happy eating, and happy reading!

About the author
Jill Shalvis
386 books13.8k followersJill Shalvis is a NYT, USA Today, and Amazon Top 100 bestselling author of small-town romance and romcoms, known for big feels, found family, and plenty of shenanigans.
If you love small-town chaos, meddling friends and neighbors, sizzling chemistry, and heroes who fall hard for the one woman they absolutely did not plan on, you’re in the right place. Jill’s books blend laugh-out-loud moments with emotional gut punches, slow-burn tension, and deeply earned happily ever afters.
She writes the stories she loves to read: small-town romance and romantic comedies packed with heart, heat, second chances, grumpy/sunshine sparks, and the kind of found-family vibes that make you want to move right into the pages. Many of her series are perfect for binge-reading, and a number of her books are available in Kindle Unlimited and at major retailers.
When she’s not writing, she’s probably plotting new ways to torture her characters, avoiding laundry, or daydreaming about fictional men and the strong, complicated women who bring them to their knees—and then making them work for it.

I am not sure if I am the right target for this cookbook since I haven't read the Lucky Harbor series and I am an indifferent cook. However, I often try recipes from Epicurious, All-Recipes, and Food&Wine magazine all the time and a recipe is a recipe.
The recipes here are for regular home-made items like casserole, salads, muffins, pies, etc. My biggest problem was that there was no indications of serving size. Some looked like they would serve 5, some looked like they would serve 8-10, but who knows. I also wasn't fond that there was a page between each recipe with a saying on it, which added up to excess padding and a waste of dead tree IMO.
I read all the recipes and had to pass on most of them. One casserole required EIGHTEEN EGGS which didn't sound all that appetizing to me. I also passed on the salad with instant ramen noodles since I haven't eaten that since high school.
I eventually did 2 of the recipes. One was the Crepes and the other was the Strawberry Pie. Both turned out okay but nothing special and I probably would not make them again since I prefer Jacques Pepin's versions better.

An electronic freebie available on Kindle and probably Nook, too.
I did the Honey Bun Muffins this morning. Yum. I did leave out the egg (by accident) and they were still a keeper. Probably won't use the egg in making it.
The other recipes look like ones you would find in neighborhood/school/club fundraiser, and I say that with love and affection. Some of my favorite recipes come from those books.
Anyway, well worth the cost of admission for the muffin recipe.

Kobo free download 11/2/11.
About 20 recipes and a preview of Christmas in Lucky Harbor: Simply Irresistible/The Sweetest Thing and Head Over Heels.
Recipes look OK, but take up about 40 pages with the rest of this ebook being previews. It was free on Kobo and Kindle. I notice Kobo is now charging $0.99. Not sure if I would pay for this.

April 18, 2011I think this is a great idea! The books have so much food in them (especially #2 with all it's cutely named stuff). And Lucky Harbor feels like a real place to me, and with a lot of B&B's there are recipe books you can take home (and then rarely use, lol), so why wouldn't there be one here. Great Idea for a contribution to the series!
I won't be reading this becuase it's not really my thing (I tend to cook without a guide --- and that tends to not work out. But whatever, I can't change who I am). I stand by this being a great idea.

I love the idea of this free read!
There's about 20 or so recipes that are mentioned in the Lucky Harbor series. If you've read The Sweetest Thing, then you know Tara is a cook. You get all the recipes and more in this fun, little read.
Super sweet, just like some of the desserts in here!

Very nice to have if you are reading the lucky harbor series!
I am not much of a cookbook reader but I throughly enjoyed!
I usually just wing it with my meals & my dinners come out great, with me trying new seasonings or other "crazy" (my family's term) things with dinner! It's never boring in our house!

This is a short book with about 20 recipes. There was only one that I thought I would try - You're My honey bun muffins. What I did like were the quotes between each one. Not sure where the title comes from because it's not much to make my kitchen heat up (at least the way I thought she was referring to). This was a free kindle download and really short so just average.

This was a companion book to The Sweetest Thing - book 2 in the Lucky Harbor series. It's only sold as an ebook. Since I enjoyed the first two books in the series I purchased it. All it is are recipes mentioned in the book. I thought it would at least have some dialog or have a storyline. I was greatly disappointed that it was only a cookbook.

Very easy Recipes from Lucky Harbor. Kindle ebook @ $.99 cents.
I've tried three of the breakfast recipes and they were easy, quick, and yummy!

A fun little book that accompanies book #2 and is filled with yummy (and very low fat - cough cough) stuff.
September 20, 2012
What I liked best about this was all the recipes. As I read the first 2 books I would find my mouth watering with all the dishes they talked about. I can't wait to try a bunch of these out!
October 14, 2012
Like the sayings in between each recipe but it would be nice if it was easier to get to each recipe without having to know what page it's on.

Love it!!

Great recipes from the Lucky Harbor series.

Lucky Harbor is by far the best series I've read. A little romance, a little humor, great read to keep you interested.

Love the recipes & the little sayings between the recipes. It makes the characters a little more real. I can't wait to try some the things & will be thinking of the story too.
