Holly Maguire’s grandmother Camilla was the Love Goddess of
Blue Crab Island, Maine—a Milanese fortune-teller who could
predict the right man for you, and whose Italian cooking was
rumored to save marriages. Holly has been waiting years for
her unlikely fortune: her true love will like sa cordula, an
unappetizing old-world delicacy. But Holly can’t make a
decent marinara sauce, let alone sa cordula. Maybe that’s
why the man she hopes to marry breaks her heart. So when
Holly inherits Camilla’s Cucinotta, she’s determined to
forget about fortunes and love and become an Italian cooking
teacher worthy of her grandmother’s legacy.
But Holly’s four students are seeking much more than how to
make Camilla’s chicken alla Milanese. Simon, a single
father, hopes to cook his way back into his daughter’s
heart. Juliet, Holly’s childhood friend, hides a painful
secret. Tamara, a serial dater, can’t find the love she
longs for. And twelve-year-old Mia thinks learning to cook
will stop her dad, Liam, from marrying his phony
lasagna-queen girlfriend. As the class gathers each week,
adding Camilla’s essential ingredients of wishes and
memories in every pot and pan, unexpected friendships and
romances are formed—and tested. Especially when Holly falls
hard for Liam . . . and learns a thing or two about finding
her own recipe for happiness.
