Here are excerpts from the fun review of A CORPSE IN THE SOUP, just posted by MARTHA CHEVES, the author of "Stir, Laugh and Repeat"—ON HER REVIEW SITE: A BOOK AND A DISH.

Someone is sabotaging the cooking show of America's favorite Chef. Food testers are coming down with food poisoning, the Baked Alaska is blowing up and the paprika is as hot as Hades. But who would do this and why?

When I was young I enjoyed playing the board game "Clue." What made this game so much fun were the characters. So now I want to introduce you to the characters of A Corpse in the Soup. Let's see if you can determine "who done it" in this story of colorful characters.

(She details all of the main characters here)

Now, with names like these you know this is going to be a very funny, entertaining book. But this is also a murder mystery so one of these characters must die. In fact the victim is murdered and found face down in a bowl of soup.

Goldie sums it up quite well with her words... "All I wanted was a quiet buying trip. Instead, my sister gets poisoned, then dates the guy who poisoned her, who hires my daughter, then he gets arrested for killing his rival, we try to help out and almost get carved up by a wacko writer and our savior is a sweet little girl who turns out to be a kamikaze Black Belt. This could only happen in L.A."

Here's the link to the whole review. It includes the recipe for our Mom's wonderful noodle kugel…one of the twins' mother Flossie's favorites.
