Tannie Maria (Kennedy) the food columnist turned agony aunt and amateur sleuth, is once again joined by tenacious young journalist Jessie September (Kylie Fisher – Troukoors Wedding Fever) and police detective Khaya Meyer (Tony Kgoroge – Blood Diamond, Invictus) for a new batch of murder mysteries in the picturesque South African town of Eden. 

 

Picking up mere moments after the first series ended, we are greeted with the unexpected arrival of Maria’s ex-sister-in-law Aileen (Robyn Scott – Afterlife of the Party) and her husband Detective Gordon McClintock (Richard Wright-Firth – Black Sails). The couple not only begin to interrogate Maria about the death of her abusive husband Mickey (Ashley Dowds – Boy Kills World, Scouts Safari), but also her estate and the circumstances surrounding her mother’s death just two months before Mickey’s. 

 

Meanwhile, local newspaper editor Hattie (Jennifer Steyn – Goodbye Bafana), prepares to announce her mayoral campaign, but her plans are scuppered when a series of devastating fires engulf Eden. The disaster triggers a fateful chain of events that sees Tannie Maria, Jessie (Fisher) and Khaya (Kgoroge) dragged into a multiple murder investigation that unearths the towns darkest secrets. 

 

With breathtaking scenery, a loveable lead, well-seasoned mysteries and a dash of delicious homecooked goods, get ready for a second serving of Recipes for Love and Murder guaranteed to leave you hungry for more.
