Andrea Israel and Nancy Garfinkel have written an absorbing novel that reflects the wisdom of MFK Fisher, namely that there is no separating food and dining from family and friends. . . . A satisfying meal for both body and soul. -- Sara Moulton
Loyalty, loss, and the ties that bind: These are the ingredients of The Recipe Club, a novel cookbook that combines an authentic story of friendship with more than eighty delicious recipes.
Lifelong friends Lilly and Val are united as much by their differences as by their similarities. In childhood, LillyPad and ValPal form an exclusive two-person club, writing intimate letters in which they share hopes, fears, deepest secrets . . . and recipes--from Lilly's Lovelorn Lasagna to Valerie's Forgiveness Tapenade. The Recipe Club sustains Lilly and Val's bond across the decades: through the challenges of independence, the joys and heartbreaks of first love, and the emotional complexities of family relationships, identity, mortality, and goals deferred--until the fateful day when an act of kindness becomes an unforgivable betrayal.
