Format:Paperback
This is a great book to start learning to make crepes, as it describes detailingly the art of crepe-making. I found it so easy to make crepes straight away. it had many delicious recipies without them bieng too complicated as some cookery books are. Crepes are now my favourite savory foods, but they are delicious sweet too.

A hilariously funny cosy
9 Jan 2001
Format:Hardcover
In Hernia, Pennsylvania, lives large Amish and Mennonite populations with tourists from around the world converging on the small area. Most visitors stay at the Penn-Dutch Inn run by Magdalena Yoder, a keen businessperson who has managed to turn a failing farm into a profit making enterprise. Magdalena has also an uncanny ability to solve homicide cases.
Her brother-in-law, the local police chief, asks Magdalena to help him solve the murder of Lizzie Mast, a devout Mennonite married to a Viet Nam veteran. Lizzie died from an overdose of Angel Dust. Apparently, just before she died, Lizzie received a threatening note that the postmaster saw. However, a hit and run driver deliberately kills the postmaster. Magdalena learns that some local teens are experimenting with illegal drugs and concludes that their supplier provided the Angel Dust to Lizzie. Magdalena must identify the seller in order to stop more deaths form occurring.
Every book that Tamar Myers writes in her wonderful "Pennsylvania Dutch with recipes" series contains much humor and insight. However, the current tale, THE CREPES OF WRATH, is just plain funny while providing even more understanding of the communities than the strong previous entries. The witty repartees and double entendres allow readers to feel good even while murder and drugs serve as the focus of the mystery. The characters are likable while the mystery is well drawn and executed. On a scale from one to five, this regional amateur sleuth novel is a ten.

Lite and Fluffy Crepe
6 Feb 2001
Format:Hardcover
I keep one or two Tamar Myers' books on hand for any day I'm feeling out of sorts, down, depressed, or PMSing. I always end sorted, up, laughing, and... well, there's no cure for the PMSing part, but she does make me forget about it for a while! Today was the day for Crepes! and Tamar took me on a great cozy ride through the Penn Dutch Inn. Her sister was wrapped in Gauze, her brother-in-law was was his usual Praying Mantis self -- is he really running for public office? Clinton was bad enough -- and I must say that I fell in love with the cat.... I hooted all the way through! The only thing I hated about the book? It was too special to take to the tub and read while I soaked... The things I give up for Miss Myers'characters!

Creepy crepes
18 July 2001
Format:Hardcover
Magdalena Yoder, owner of the PennDutch Inn is back again in the ninth book of the Pennsylvania Dutch Mystery series. This time Hernia's worst cook, Lizzie Mast, is poisoned by some crepes. Magdalena's guests are always under suspicion and this time they include an African-American couple, a TV star and his wife, and a very tall PE teacher who is recruiting for her high school basketball team. Magdalena decides that she might as well solve the murder because her brother-in-law Melvin, who is Chief of Police, seems incapable of solving anything. This book contains the usual puns and jokes and will appeal to most of Myers' fans.
