From the New York Times bestselling author of Shoe Addicts Anonymous and Always Something There to Remind Me comes a delicious new novel about the search for true love and all the ingredients that go into it. As far as Gemma is concerned, her days of dating are over. In fact, itβs her job to cater other peoplesβ dates, and thatβs just fine by her. At thirty-seven, she has her own business, working as a private chef, and her life feels full and secure. Sheβs got six steady clients that keep her hands full. Thereβs Lex, the fussy but fabulous department store owner who loves Oysters Rockefeller and 1950s comfort food; Willa, who needs to lose weight under doctorβs orders but still believes butter makes everything better; a colorful family who may or may not be part of the Russian mob; an ΓΌberwealthy Georgetown family; the picture-perfect Van Houghtens, whose matriarch is βallergic to everythingβ; and finally, a man she calls βMr. Tuesday,β whom she has never met but who she is strangely drawn to. For Gemma, cooking is predictable. Recipes are certain. Use good ingredients, follow the directions, and you are assured success. Life, on the other hand, is full of variables. So when Gemmaβs takes an unexpected turn on a road she always thought was straight and narrow, she must face her past and move on in ways she never would have imagined. Because sometimes in life, all you need is a little hope, a lot of courage, and---oh yes---butter.
