Recipes for Love and Murder

By: Sally Andrew

Narrated by: Sandra Prinsloo

Meet Tannie Maria: a woman who likes to cook a lot and write a little.

One Sunday morning, as Maria savours the breeze through the kitchen window whilst making apricot jam, she hears the screech and bump that announces the arrival of her good friend and editor, Harriet. What Maria doesn't realise is that Harriet is about to deliver the first ingredient in two new recipes (recipes for love and murder) and a whole basketful of challenges.

Critic reviews

"If you want a vivid, amusing and immensely enjoyable read about detection (and cooking) in an intriguing part of southern Africa, then this is the book for you. A triumph." (Alexander McCall Smith)

" Recipes for Love and Murder is a delightful debut." (Christopher Hope)

Loved it!

Fantastic story and Sandra Prinsloo rocks! This story deals with real and difficult issues with care, love and understanding and still manages to be happy and entertaining.

Intriguing mystery story

Loved it. Couldn't stop listening. Beautifully written and narrated. Looking forward to follow up story.

Fantastic South African read!

Love love loved it! Sandra Prinsloo's narration is perfect and the recipes make me want to buy the hard copy

A relatable irresistible character

Loved every single thing about this book and the performance. It is heartwarming, refreshing and charming.

Heartwarming (despite being a murder story)

Me: running
Tannie Maria: I don’t believe in running :))

But on a serious note we all need a Tannie Maria in our lives. As many tannie marias as possible, and chocolate cakes, and rusks.
