Publisher's Synopsis
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Friday Night Knitting Club comes a delectable new novel about food, family, and second chances.
Augusta Gus Simpson has come a long way since her husband died suddenly, leaving her to raise their two daughters on her own. She carved a successful career out of her natural talents as a chef and hostess, becoming a famous TV cooking personality. But now, as she approaches fifty, she finds that her well-earned turf may not be as secure as she thought. A hot young Latin beauty queen with a flair for spices and an ambition for stardom is threatening to steal her spot on the Cooking Channel. As Gus struggles to remake herself for a new age of media, she discovers that her entire life may need a makeover, including her relationship with her daughters and, perhaps, another chance at romance.
