There are so many cozy books out there with recipes. How do you read and rate them all?

This is a newer cozy series and there are many many things make it stand out in the crowd. Our main character is 59 is but very fit. She is very happy with herself, her life, her family, her choices. She doesnt have big issues to over come. She isnt snarky, vain or have fetish for shoes.

There is a good balance between her involvement and the line between interference and just how the police handle her meddling. I thought it was the best I had read in some time. The police were not portrayed as arrogant, or negligent or indifferent. I think the exact line was something like, Your interference has cost us hours of delay in this investigation. If you had told us what you know we could have detained this guy.

I also liked that all the characters were important.

I seldom feel inclined to use any of the recipes in these books, since they are often over complicated or not something I would want to eat. These recipes looked simple but seemed to scream, I will taste like grandma made.
