The plot is complicated by the mysterious owner of a diet salon. Recipes focus on meat dishes.

Potluck: While their personal chef business is moderately successful, Alli wants to take it to a new level with mixes that customers can add their own medical marijuana to. When a major supplier is killed, Alli looks to be the one who saw him last. This is book three in the series. Recipes include large-portion dishes to take to neighborhood potlucks as well as recipes to lace with your medical marijuana prescription.

The titles are: "Talk Turkey", "Garden of Eaten", "On the Lamb", "Something Fishy", and "Ancient Grease". Recipes are Greek and Turkish dishes.

Cooks in the Can: Trying to make a living as personal chefs is tough, so Alli and Gina supplement their income by cooking for the tough and unlikable local sheriff at his county jail. Too bad the sheriff dies on their watch. The book series has recipes using canned goods to make quick, easy, and nutritious meals.

Tequila Mockingbird: The sixth and final book in the "Murders with Taste" series finds Alli trying to help a neighbor accused--wrongly?--of murdering her husband a few decades ago.

Excerpt from Pastabilities, first book in the Gina and Alli "Murders with Taste" series:

"Purple hair? Purple? Today you had to go purple?
Alli pulled a sproingy curl out from her head and responded defensively to her business partner. "Well, it's more hibiscus than purple. What's the deal? You didn't hate "Luscious Mango" last month."
Gina took a deep breath. Alli knew Gina did that when she needed to settle herself down.
Gina began again. "Didn't you hear my phone message? We have a meeting with our first clients for this personal chef business.
"Oh, yeah. 'Draggledy'? Something like that?"
"No, Alli. I said 'Dragon Lady'. She wants to interview us at her home to see if she wants us to be her personal chefs."
Alli's freckles bleached out of her face. The Dragon Lady. Gina's boss at the hospital. Even Alli was afraid of her, and she didn't even work for the woman.
"Well," Alli tried to put a good face on it. "I'll carry myself with aplomb, and she'll think I'm just another artsy-fartsy, creative comestibles type. It's all in presentation,
Gina, just like our recipes. I'll wear my orange boa for an added dash of panache."
