Collective Obsessions Saga By Deborah O'Toole writing as Deidre Dalton

"Larkin Community Cookbook" 

The Larkin Community Cookbook is a collection of more than 190 recipes mentioned or prepared by characters in the Collective Obsessions Saga by Deborah O'Toole writing as Deidre Dalton. The cookbook is available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

A number of fictional characters found in the Collective Obsessions Saga are exceptional cooks.

It begins with first family chef Claude Mondoux (The Advent), and then carries on with the ill-fated Nicholas Bertrand (Quixotic Crossings), the much-beloved Mae Jensen (The Twain Shall Meet), the drunken Cora Ann Hogan (The Twilight) and former Bruno's Cafe waitress Berty Soames (Limb of Iniquity).

Diabolical Amber Whale executive chef Jack Sansovino (Hearts Desires) is also a dab hand in the kitchen, where he brews more than just seafood specialties.

Various members of the Larkin family have culinary talent as well, including Shannon, Derek and Dana, who prepare mouth-watering dishes for family and friends. Derek (Hearts Desires) also becomes a professional chef and opens his own elegant restaurant in Larkin City, known as The Silver Tassel.

Before her grisly demise, Carly O'Reilly (Enthrallment and The Keeper's Journal) whips up delectable dishes for her highly successful Harbor View Catering Company, where she also sells homemade foodstuffs.

Bad seed Alexandra Cimarelli (Limb of Iniquity) is also surprisingly talented in the kitchen, where she prepares Baked Macaroni & Cheese, Chicken Cordon Bleu and Homemade Soft Pretzels.
