we cook.

Foodies come join us! No diets! No skipping dessert!

Margo
Everson sees the call out for the cookbook club and knows she’s found her
people. Recently dumped by her self-absorbed husband, who frankly isn’t much
of a loss, she has little to show for her marriage but his ‘parting gift’—a dilapidated
old farm house—and a collection of well-loved cookbooks

Aja
Alexander just hopes her new-found friends won’t notice that that every time
she looks at food, she gets queasy. It’s hard hiding a pregnancy, especially
one she can’t bring herself to share with her wealthy boyfriend and his
snooty mother. 

Trista
Walker left the cutthroat world of the law behind and decided her fate was to
open a restaurant…not the most secure choice
ever. But there she could she indulge her passion for creating delectable
meals and make money at the same time.

The
women bond immediately, but it’s not all popovers with melted brie and
blackberry jam.  Margo’s farm house is
about to fall down around her ears; Trista’s restaurant needs a makeover and
rat-removal fast; and as for Aja, just how long can you hide a baby bump
anyway?

In
this delightful novel, these women form bonds that go beyond a love grilled
garlic and soy sauce shrimp. Because what is more important in life than
friendship…and food?
