This book was fabulous, and has great recipes. Oh, by the way very good pizza, and the Key Lime Pie is my favorite of all favorite's. This was a great way for the character's to come together and be fun and share recipes together. Great job Cornwell!

I found this to be a very enjoyable read. All of the main characters are present & instead of the crazy fast paced lives we as Cornwell readers are normally exposed to, during the course of this book, we become privy to a little behind the scenes of Scarpetta's life away from the hustle & bustle of her job.

a lovely treat to read at one sitting. can't wait to try the recipes!!

... If I had to spend [money]to get this book, I would be quite disappointed because it is so short. It seems to me the author put this together in a hurry to make some money. It is not bad but not much in there. I enjoyed reading it but the plot was a bit [stale.]

As a Patricia Cornwell fan, I was dubious about buying a spin-off book and possibly destroying my image of Dr. Scarpetta. However, my curiosity (and stomach) finally overcame my reservations. This book is absolutely wonderful! Dishes are written in a narrative form and are simple to figure out, leaving just enough room for imagination and a personal touch, as recipes ought to be. The story is more in-depth than I would have thought for a book like this, which was a nice surprise. I've never seen a book like this and think PC deserves credit for breaking new ground by introducing a book that gives recipes as well as a story to compliment them. Or should I say, a new story with recipes to compliment it! Basically, it describes a Kay Scarpetta feast made with love for two of her favorite people, in detail and uninterrupted by crime. These feasts are one of my favorite parts of these novels, and this one reads just like the novels, although just a little more in depth (and of course with recipes!) I suspect you need to be a fan to really enjoy this book, but I entertain often and our guests haved raved over every dish we've made from this book (as well as from the other PC recipe book Food To Die For, which I also love dearly). This Winter Table story pairs with its recipes better than a fine wine, and gives the reader not only a recipe but the heart and soul and inspiration to warm your heart as well as your tummy. :)
