From the bestselling author of See Jane Date and The Secret of Joy comes a charming, warm-hearted story about a woman's search for happiness after inheriting her grandmother's cooking school in small-town Maine. When Holly Maguire inherits "Camilla's Cucinotta," her late grandmother's home-based Italian cooking school in Blue Crab Island, Maine, twelve of the sixteen students for the upcoming fall class drop out. After all, Holly isn't a seventy-five-year-old Milanese love goddess, whose secret sauces had aphrodisiac properties and whose kitchen table fortune-telling often came true. Holly, a broken-hearted thirty-year-old who's never found her niche, can barely cook at all. But she's determined to keep her beloved grandmother's legacy alive. Armed with Camilla's hand-scrawled recipe book, Holly welcomes her students: apprentice Mia, a twelve-year-old desperate to learn to cook Italian to stop her divorced father from marrying his ditzy girlfriend; Juliet, Holly's childhood friend grieving for her newborn--and the marriage she left behind on the mainland; Simon, struggling to be an every-other-weekend dad to his young son after his wife left him; and Tamara, a single thirty-something yearning for love. Full of mouth-watering Italian dishes, heartfelt self-discovery, and a community that believes in magic and connection, this contemporary romance novel serves up a comforting, inspiring story about making your own recipe for happiness.
