Virtually Yummy
The recipes in this book come from different sources: some of them are treasured family recipes, some were garnered from our travels around the world, and others—inspired by the adventures of our characters and by their culinary feats.
Join us for a taste of hearty Rutabega soup, Mexican delicacies such as Mole Source, Berry Salsa and Mexican Omelet, French pastries such as Tart Tatin, and Indian deserts such as Mango Phirni. No matter where these recipes come from, we find them not only delicious but also inspiring. We hope you will too.
Our characters love eating and they love to cook. Often, they do it together. They come from our multi-author series, High-Tech Crime Solvers, centered around the fantastic new promise of high technology and the endless possibilities for crime that technology offers, in a world where getting away with murder can be not only plausible, but easy…if you just know how.
To enjoy Virtually Yummy, no high-tech skills are needed. Whip it up and be inspired!

About the author
Uvi Poznansky
41 books359 followersUvi Poznansky is a USA TODAY bestselling, award-winning author, poet and artist. “I paint with my pen,” she says, “and write with my paintbrush.” Her romantic suspense box set, Love Under Fire, and her medical thriller box set, Do No Harm, made the USA TODAY bestselling list. Her romance box set, A Touch of Passion, was the 2016 WINNER of The Romance Reviews Readers' Choice Awards.
Education and work:
Uvi earned her B. A. in Architecture and Town Planning from the Technion in Haifa, Israel and practiced with an innovative Architectural firm, taking a major part in the large-scale project, called Home for the Soldier.
Having moved to Troy, N.Y. with her husband and two children, Uvi received a Fellowship grant and a Teaching Assistantship from the Architecture department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. There, she guided teams in a variety of design projects and earned her M.A. in Architecture. Then, taking a sharp turn in her education, she earned her M.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of Michigan.
She worked first as an architect, and later as a software engineer, software team leader, software manager and a software consultant (with an emphasis on user interface for medical instruments devices.) All the while, she wrote and painted constantly, and exhibited in Israel and California. In addition, she taught art appreciation classes. Her versatile body of work includes bronze and ceramic sculptures, oil and watercolor paintings, charcoal, pen and pencil drawings, and mixed media.

Ash Suspense Thrillers with a Dash of Romance is a suspense series. It includes Coma Confidential, Virtually Lace, and Overdose.
Still Life with Memories is a family saga series with touches of romance. The series includes My Own Voice, The White Piano, The Music of Us, Dancing with Air, and Marriage before Death. Volume I and II are bundled in Apart from Love; volume III-V are bundled in Apart from War.
The David Chronicles is a historical fiction series with a modern twist. It includes three novels--Rise to Power, A Peek at Bathsheba, and The Edge of Revolt--and six art through the ages collections, describing each moment of the story.
Her poetry book, Home, is in tribute to her father. Her collection of dark tales, Twisted, and her Historical Fiction book, A Favorite Son, are both new age, biblically inspired books. In addition, Uvi wrote and illustrated two children books, Jess and Wiggle and Now I Am Paper. For each one of these books, she created an animation video (find them on YouTube and on her Goodreads page.)

A deliciously different kind of book!
VIRTUALLY YUMMY: Recipes that Inspire is a deliciously different kind of book! What makes this recipe book unique is that it contains excerpts by the authors of the High-Tech Crime Solvers series: Uvi Poznansky, Robert I. Katz, Edwin Dasso, P.D. Workman, Jacquie Biggar, Casi McLean, Barbara Ebel, and Libby Fischer Hellman.
The recipes come from their travels around the world, treasured family recipes and even from the adventures of their own characters! It’s a very clever concept and there’s something for everybody here from soups and tarts to main dishes and desserts.
They say variety is the spice of life, so there’s plenty of tasty treasures to be found in this quick, enjoyable and easy read. As well as the other authors, I’m a big fan of Uvi Poznansky so it’s five stars from me.

Boy, having a cookbook accompany a story collection is great. And the recipes I’ve tried are fantastic!

Great recipes and teasers from the books they are affiliated with by various authors. Teasers were way too short and didn't give enough background for me. Some recipes I would definitely give a try.
All the teasers are from come from a multi-author series, High-Tech Crime Solvers. I may give it a try to see how they all flow together.
All but P.D. Workman were new to me authors. I may give some of their books a try.

This was the best format to introduce me to some awesome recipes. There are excerpts from the authors stories and a recipe. Great recipes, some from travels the authors made, and some old and handed down from family! Mexican Omelette, and Homemade Bean Chili were my favorites followed closely by Berry Sauce! This is a MUST read!

This book contained some wonderful recipes, linked back to excerpts from great stories,many of which brought back fond memories of stories I'd read, others of which inspired me to track down the stories because they sounded as good as the recipes.
Worth a look if you're either a cook or a reader.

The recipes are of such variety: chili, mole, apple cobbler, and rutabaga soup to Brussels sprouts with bacon. And they all came from these authors sharing excerpts.

So much fun to recreate a recipe from a story.
What fun my family and I had making
these recipes and reading that they related back to. They were surprisingly good too.
