She's a single. He's a widower. She wants him. He wants her. She wants to impress. So does he. There's just one catch - she can't cook. To get him, she needs to get past the big fish - his mother. Lucky her, she's got an Ace up her sleeve and all she's got to do is impress this one time. Bad luck, though, her new guy can't cook either, her dog Rambo is on the loose and now they've got to pull off the big lunch at the club. Will it be a match made in heaven? Will they be able to pull off a culinary miracle? Will their combined efforts result in love at first bite? Or is it a Recipe for Disaster?

I couldn't stop reading! The story is amazingly addictive and I can't wait to try the recipes that come with the story. I think it makes a great present for friends and family: story and recipes in one book! Amazing!

Despite all the hype, and the genre, and the tags and the advertising... I didn't know what to expect when I downloaded this book, and I certainly didn't expect a novel married with a cookery book. And yet... it works! It more than works, it's delicious.
So there's the love story between Lucy... sorry, Lisa and Adam. Adam, whose mother has a big issue with Lisa, whom she keeps calling--yes, you guessed it, Lucy. Potential mother-in-law does not approve of the relationship and things get messy when Lisa decides to impress Adam's mum by cooking. Except: she can't actually cook. Enter best friend Becky to the rescue! If that cast isn't enough to get you hooked, let's not forget Rambo, Lisa's little dog who has a very strong opinion and quite a big impact all by himself. Also Adam's wise-cracking parrot generates plenty of mirth throughout the novel.
In between instalments of this amazing love story, you get: yummy recipes skilfully woven into the plot. Recipes for Disaster is an unusual romance, and an unusual cookery book, but it serves both genres exceptionally well. The book is peppered (pardon the pun) with laugh-out-moments and the tension towards the end has you reading ever faster. The author has a fast, fluid and funny style that makes the novel--love story and recipes--a real treat, and I cannot wait to read more from this intriguing new talent.

When Lisa sets out to make a good impression on Adam by providing the food for his mother's golf do, one disaster strikes after another. What she hasn't told Adam or his dragon of a mother is that she's actually hopeless at cooking.
Will Lisa, helped out by her best friend, Becky, who's having her own relationship calamities, win through? This book, told from three different viewpoints (Lisa, Becky and Adam) was a delight to read and so funny. Not simply a romantic romp but the recipes Becky showed Lisa to cook are included throughout the text - a clever idea!
