Immerse In Kitchen Addiction! Rendered By Lizz Lund Provided As PDF

Kindle download

It's not perfect it needs some editing, But I did have some fun with it, which is more than I can say for many of the free Kindle books that I've downloaded.


I don't quite understand why it's "kitchen" addictionnot much cooking, The "recipes" are more in the nature of slapping things together and being surprised that they are edible, And the characters eat more pizza than a human should consume,

I'm sad that Krumpfth's doesn't seem to be a real beer, :

Would I pay for it yet No, But the characters are likeable, and I think there may be something here, Just could 't get into it, lots of bad language, I finished it, but don 't know howbor why, As copied from my Amazon review:

Fishy lips and fuzzy toesies, . . delectable

that is,if you are the oversized cat that seems to have an opinion about everything Mina gets involved in: and Mina is a busy woman in this story.
A genetic predisposition to overcooking during times of stress, or for holidays, a neighbor with a house key, a secret and a cleaning obsession, and someone setting fires with flaming bags of dog poo and you have the gist of the issues to be dealt with in this book.


I won't claim this book is without its faults: the humor often is juvenile and derives more from the ridiculous situations, but although those were many and the story wouldn't have suffered if there were fewer "events" the author has done a good job describing, creating and sorting them.
What was slightly distracting was the overuse of some phrases: "yous" comes into play far more than it should,

But, for a fun read that had me laughing until I cried more than once this is the read for you.
It also won't hurt if you have ever been in servitude to a cat, had a crazy family member or a horrible boss.
You don't have to have experience with any of that, or even have to cook: but it helps, Kitchen Addiction

I felt story dragged towards the end, Author gives you a plethora of descriptive adjectives to describe food, clothing, and driving instructions, She never explained why so many people were burned, unless it was from the tent fire,

This is the first book of the Mina Kitchen series and is a very good book to introduce the series, I wish that I had read this book first as it explains so many of the personality traits of the characters and the whys.

Mina and her coworkers are victims of boss Howweird and some cyberconspiracy, We are introduced to neighbor Vito and his mob family connections and a mystery concerning some seniors and medication deliveries,
Family introductions include Aunt Muriel, Mom and sister and brother in law, all of whom contribute to Mina's crazy life, Pets are a huge part of Mina's life and those of her friends and family,
This is a delightful book filled with numerous quirky characters and exploits which make up Mina's life, There are numerous mysteries going on at once and great laughs! Made me laugh out loud in quite a few parts, . . but I honestly couldn't finish it without skipping through quickly from about Chapter six, It is way too long, could have used a good editor for sure, This book did not disappoint, I love Lizz Lund's writing style, Her books are funny, and a mystery all in one, Mina, the heroine, as well as her family and friends are interesting characters, Her friend and neighbor, Vito, has a tendency to get Mina into situations that could get her into real trouble, There are her coworkers Bauser and Howard in this book, They worked with her, lost their jobs with her, and were there for Mina all the time, There are also Mina's pets, Vinnie the cat, and Marie the bird, Throw in Bauser'slegged dog, Jim, Mina's sister Ethel's dogs, Hansel and Gretel, and Vito's dog, Stanley for more laughs, This book took twists and turns, The story was always changing to accommodate Mina's chaotic life, The book was great fun, and made me laugh out loud while reading, I must say that Vinnie was my fave character This is Truly Addicting!!

I read the Christmas entry into this series first.
Believe me, it gets worse than the cooking she does later, This start gets us to know characters we will learn to cherish, Very, very good beginning. I don't know if the author wants comparisons, but a certain bounty hunter may need to be worried! A crazy hyper story , always something going on.
Funny and this poor girl always got the blunt end of things it seems, It did get confusing a bit with all the pets with peoples names, Lots of food , friends and family visiting her house, But the thing was who kept setting bags of dog crap on fire at her job,
Always lot of things happening, Hang on to you hats, LOL A fantastic start to a cozy mystery series, I laughed out loud at Mina's antics and the recipes at the end were a nice touch, Can't wait to read more!

My Rating:Br forewarned do not read in public since there are parts of this book that will have you snorting and laughing out loud.
Also do not drink anything while reading this book since you will probably snort it through your nose when another sneaky laugh session comes along.

Honestly as far as a plot or plots go it's kind of like who care There so much craziness and wacky people happening all over this book it really does not matter.

For a really good laugh and a genuinely funny book please read! This is a long book, but rather funny in a Stephanie Plum, tongue in cheek sort of way.
Mina Minea Kitchen is asomething who has a bad job, no love life, and an addiction to cooking as a method of stress relief.
Unfortunately, that addiction does not come with portion or quantity controls, and she can't cook for less thanpeople!

Add to this, her older swiffering neighbor who she bought her half of the duplex from and never managed to get the extra key back from, a rich aunt who guilts her over all sorts of things, a mother who is techno savvy while Mina still plays vinyl and does not own a cell phone, a BFF who has a thing for men in uniform married or not, and her own menagerie that includes a Cockatiel named Marie and a rather large cat small mountain lion named Vinnie who nearly talks.
It makes for a rather hilarious tale of woe and misfortune and occasionally, murder, Read it if you dare, just remember that this comes with a SPEW ALERT, . . I'm not going to bother summarizing the plot of this book honestly, the book is all over the place, There are a few mysteries, but they don't seem to be matters of consequence, It's not captivating at all,

My favorite character of this book is Vinnie the cat, As for the rest of the characters in the book there are just too many of them to keep track of, The names are silly Mina, who goes on cooking binges, has a last name of Kitchen, Neighbor Vito's last name is Spaghetti but we find out it's a madeup name, Vito's late wife's name was Marie, as is Mina's cockatiel's, Mina's bff Trixie was having an affair with an officer named Appletree, Whose first name is Adam and whose wife's name is Eve, Mina works at a company named EEJIT whose parent company is Effhue, Right

The chapters in this book are long, And rambling. And overly descriptive. We don't need a playbyplay of how one gets into their car, starts the car, puts the car in reverse and backs out of the driveway.


There's a ton of food mentioned in this book each meal is like an allyoucaneat buffet and the author lists dish after dish.
It was pretty exhausting after a while,

Honestly, I didn't care much for the book, I ended up skimming through large parts of it just to get to the end, It's an okay read if you have nothing else to do but don't expect to get through it in one sitting,

Note on one of my earlier status updates about the mystery not being resolved by the end I think it does people get arrested but it felt very anticlimatic and was just tossed in there about threequarters of the way through the book.
This was fun to read, I loved the characters and the voices, This was a silly, fun, and lighthearted mystery type book that felt as though I had written it myself, Mina talks to herself and thinks to herself much like most people do, It made her very relatable, Very few things ever seemed to go her way, but even the bad moments were comical, Her bright sense of humor helped make the book easy to read, It did feel a bit like it dragged on for a long time, and as others have mentioned in their reviews, there were a LOT of characters to keep straight.
Overall, however, I enjoyed it and found it to be a rather fun read! This story is cute but it just drags on and on and on.
It says it is a mystery but the mystery solved about halfway through the book and I was still confused as to what exactly was happening.
She could use a good editor and the recipes are not exactly my taste, The cat is the best part, but this girl is a trainwreck and nobody has this much going on in their life or they would die of overload of stress.
Laughing out loud. Single's something with good friends but miserable boss must juggle enormous cat, parakeet, excentric mother, wacky godmother and overly helpful but strange neighbor.
She finds solace in cooking, . . huge meals in her home not necessarily aimed at feeding anyone, She has an addiction to cooking, and

note everyone is thrilled, A surprisingly long read, compared to several of similar genres, The main protagonist is a cookaholic with a ragtag bunch of friends, After problems at work EEJIT a lot of things roll along computer hacking, drugs running, The Mob, . . but not as you would expect,

Yeah I loved it, but thought I'd missed a crucial piece of the plot, Tweeting the author came back with a prompt reply, "I could tell you, but it would be a spoiler!"

Hurry up and finish book: Cute story, I really liked the idea of putting recipes at the end of the book, Meet Mina Kitchen, a fortysomething single who likes to cook and cook and cook, In fact, her zest for whipping up trays of canapes is dwarfed only by her weird luck and mountainlion size tabby cat, Vinnie.
That, and her godmom's tendency for blackmailing new members into joining St, Bart's. Okay, maybe Mina's Swifferaddicted neighbor, Vito, is a bit weird, too, As if all that wasn't enough, Mina's a Jersey girl transplanted in the midst of the Amishflavored countryside of Lancaster, PA,

Things get really complicated when she learns that her neighbor Vito is in a witness protection program, and her dry cleaner deals in prescription samples.
Throw in a few mysterious flaming feces flingers and a fuse box labeled in Arabic, and you have a recipe for catering disorders.
