Holly Maguireโs grandmother Camilla was the Love Goddess of Blue Crab Island, Maineโa 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 canโt make a decent marinara sauce, let alone sa cordula. Maybe thatโs why the man she hopes to marry breaks her heart. So when Holly inherits Camillaโs Cucinotta, sheโs determined to forget about fortunes and love and become an Italian cooking teacher worthy of her grandmotherโs legacy.
But Hollyโs four students are seeking much more than how to make Camillaโs chicken alla Milanese. Simon, a single father, hopes to cook his way back into his daughterโs heart. Juliet, Hollyโs childhood friend, hides a painful secret. Tamara, a serial dater, canโt 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 Camillaโs essential ingredients of wishes and memories in every pot and pan, unexpected friendships and romances are formedโand tested. Especially when Holly falls hard for Liam . . . and learns a thing or two about finding her own recipe for happiness.
