Who Says Only 20-Somethings Can Have Adventure, Romance, and Sex?

In COOKIN’ FOR LOVE, Beverly Hills cookbook author Miriam Levy’s life is a fallen souffle. Her best friend Kate McGrath dreams about “The One” who got away. When, after 25 years, Kate finds him on Google and he asks her to visit him half-way around the world, she begs Miriam to go with her. It leads to an adventure that teaches both women about love, life, friendship – and food. Inspired by a true story, this warm, funny novel – Chick Lit for “mature” women – includes 25 delicious recipes from “Orgasmic Cookies” to “Pop-the-Question Rum Cake.”

If you loved “The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood,” COOKIN’ FOR LOVE is must reading.

“A CHARMING BOOK..THAT SHOWS HOW FOOD NOURISHES THE SOUL AND STIRS REMINISCENCES.”
—Bon Appetit Magazine

Sometimes, the smallest things – the aroma of cookies baking, the feel of dough in your hands – can trigger poignant food memories. For Sharon Boorstin it was the discovery of a long-lost notebook of recipes she’d collected from her mother, relatives, and friends that inspired her to reconnect with the loved ones of her past. As she reached out to the recipe givers – many of whom she hadn’t seen in years – she uncovered and embraced the power of cooking and food in establishing bonds among women. LET US EAT CAKE celebrates these connections. With dozens of delicious recipes and vintage photos, this moving book will inspire readers to remember and cherish their own experiences with food, family, and friends.
