I just finished A Stiff Risotto, and was pleasantly surprised at the similarities to the Diane Mott Davidson series. I really enjoy the blend of recipes and suspense! I can't wait to get the first two of this series and look forward to new books from both authors. Heaven Lee is a much more likable character than Davidson's Goldy. Heaven seems more down to earth! For anyone not familiar with these works, try it! Tasty recipes and suspense thrown in together! What a smorgasboard!

I just finished A Stiff Risotto and Lou Jane Temple has again done an excellent job of mixing mystery with the culinary arts. Brookville Hotel, very nicely done and as I've stated in previous reviews being from the area I enjoy this series very much. In discussing the works with others from the Flint Hills and with some knowledge of Kansas City, we all agree that Lou Jane Temple does a very good job. Now we get to travel a little and venture into Aspen,Colorado. Again the characters evolve and we learn more about their pasts as is the case of all developing series.
I was glad to read in comments from the author that the publishers have seen fit to expand the series and am looking forward to the fourth in the series.
Please keep up the good work.

A Stiff Risotto
27 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
The adventures of a restaurant owner and two of her waiters who go to Aspen for a Chef's competition, and the challenges of the restaurant staff to run things while she's gone were light and humorous reading for the most part. The recipes throughout the book sound interesting. I was disappointed that the author found it necessary to use so many four-letter words and make tacky sexual references. It was offensive and didn't enhance the story.
