A Bad Hair Day Cookbook serves up both food and justice.” Christine A. Jackson, Ph.D., Author of Myth and Ritual in Women’s Detective Fiction "Nancy J. Cohen is a master mystery author. Her Bad Hair Day mysteries are unique and fun to read. Since she included so many food items in her mysteries, she decided to create a cookbook to share the actual recipes. A Bad Hair Day Cookbook: Recipes from Nancy J. Cohen's Cozy Mystery Series, not only combines her mystery series with recipes but also includes some family cherished recipes. Each recipe is introduced with its source, either from a family or friend, or included in one of her mystery novels. The recipes are categorized logically and each recipe is well laid out with concise directions on how to prepare the dish. There are several excerpts from the Bad Hair Day Mystery Series to accompany the recipes. With a good introduction, this book is not only a treasure to add to any cookbook collection, but a pleasure to read." 5 stars, Readers' Favorite "Fans of Nancy Cohen's prior books already know that her Bad Hair Day series of cozy mysteries are compelling reads, but A Bad Hair Day Cookbook offers something different in presenting recipes by 'Marla Vail', the fictional Florida hairstylist and salon owner whose exploits powered Cohen's Bad Hair Day series. These recipes are anything but fictional, however. They not only supplement the series with a fun nonfiction twist, but emphasize Nancy J. Cohen's original creations (along with recipes from friends and family), designed for busy cooks who may not be out solving crimes, but whose time is equally challenged. If it's a quick and easy, tested cookbook that is desired, A Bad Hair Day Cookbook should be the item of choice. And if you're already a cozy mystery reader of Cohen's books, this cookbook makes for a delightful complementary volume to the series, and possible gift for any fan of the series." Midwest Book Review "A BAD HAIR DAY COOKBOOK brings to readers the amazingly delicious recipes from the series of the same name. Easy, fancy, and favorite standbys, they're all covered, making this book packed with something for everyone! ... The recipes are only a part of this book. You will learn about the sleuth, Marla Vail, read a wonderful introduction by Ms. Cohen, get helpful cooking tips, and read excerpts from the books in the Bad Hair Day Mysteries. I loved everything about this book, and look forward to trying many of the dishes myself. Pick up a copy of A BAD HAIR DAY COOKBOOK. It is a must-have for any cozy mystery and/or cookbook fan!" Lisa K's Book Reviews "This is such a great idea for a cookbook: the protagonist sharing her family recipes and stories with the readers. I really enjoyed it and I learned some things to help me in the kitchen. Before each recipe there is a little bit about where the recipe came from. And at the end of each section there is an excerpt from one of the Bad Hair Day books. I thought this was a very clever to incorporate the books with the recipes. There are some really good sounding recipes and I cannot wait to try some of them. I would definitely recommend this cookbook to all cooks, whether you are an expert or just learning to cook. There are recipes included for everyone to love." Open Book Society "If you are a fan of cozy mysteries you know that some of them discuss food and offer tasty recipes at the end and Nancy J. Cohen has taken that idea even further with her A Bad Hair Day Cookbook. This is a MUST HAVE for anyone who likes to read and cook! Not only does her cookbook offer tantalizing recipes, in very neat and organized chapters but each recipe explains why she is sharing it and in between categorizes she gives the reader a look into some of her Bad Hair Day books. Cohen is the author of 16 books in this series and if you aren't a fan yet, you must look into these books. And if you are unsure I encourage you to grab the Cookbook and get to know Cohen and her main character M
