Romance writer Debbie Macomber jumped genres and has just released  her first cookbook.

Responding to fans of her Cedar Cove series who kept requesting recipes for food mentioned in the books, Macomber wrote Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove Cookbook which came out yesterday.

Some of the Cedar Cove recipes you’ll find are:

• Teri Polger’s Macaroni and Cheese
• Charlotte Rhode’s Cinnamon Rolls
• Olivia Griffin’s Creamy Tarragon Chicken Salad
• The Pot Belly Deli’s Broccoli and Cheese Soup in a Bread Bowl

I’ve never read any of Macomber’s books but the recipes are inspiring…me to eat, that is.
