I want to read cozies from around the world and I found this South African one and half way through it I thought I have to make some soentjies for company when I read the next book (there are recipes at the end of the book, 2 chocolate cakes! But none for soentjies.)
Tannie Maria is adorable and has conversations with her food. She used to have a recipe column in the local paper but higher ups says they need to have an agony aunt so she gets the job but combines it with her love for food. One letter writer decides to leave her abusive husband and when a dead one is reported Tannie Marie knows it’s the same woman and along with her friends at the paper they investigate the murder.
Charming and fun and I will read the rest. There’s also a TV series that I will look into. There’s a little cursing in this one.
