Recipes for Love and Murder (Acorn TV Original) | Episodes 1 and 2 of 10

EPISODE 1: Bereft Woman

When newspaper editor Hattie tells Maria (Maria Doyle Kennedy, Outlander, Orphan Black) that her recipe column is being discontinued, Maria and rookie journalist Jessie compete to write the new advice column - and, of course, Maria squeezes a recipe in there, too. One of Maria's letter writers is a woman with an abusive husband, and when Jessie happens upon a crime scene, they quickly figure out that the victim is Maria's letter writer, Martine.

EPISODE 2: Sex Cake

Maria and Jessie and local detective Khaya are all trying to solve Martine's murder. The prime suspects are Dirk, Martine's husband, and Anna, her best friend, who was also in love with her. Meanwhile in Scotland, two people are trying to trace down Maria. (2 EPS, 2022)
