After years of working in her lab, she finds herself the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six.

    by Jennifer Dugan

    Type A Fallon and happy-go-lucky Chloe couldn’t be more different. The girls used to be best friends, but last summer they hooked up right before Chloe left for college, and after a series of misunderstandings, they aren’t even speaking to each other. In fact, they are doing everything they can to avoid each other. Which is turning out to be easier said than done, since their moms run a business together–a gourmet ice cream truck where both girls work. As the two girls are forced to work together in the cramped truck, they face unexpected detours–and more than a little roadside attraction.

    Ramón Montez is on a mission to grow his father’s fast-food empire, and nothing–and no one–is going to stand in his way. Celebrity chef Julieta Campos has worked so hard to build her sea-to-table taqueria, and is absolutely crushed to find that her new landlord is the family who stole her mother’s taco recipe decades ago. When fate and tacos bring Ramón and Julieta together on the Day of the Dead, the star-crossed pair must make a choice: accept the bitter food rivalry that drives them apart or surrender to a love that consumes them.

For four very different women, winning the competition would present a crucial chance to change their lives. These four women are giving the competition their all–even if that sometimes means bending the rules. But with so much at stake, will the contest that aims to bring the community together only serve to break it apart?

    From the sharp and wise mind of Nora Ephron, comes a hilarious novel about the breakup of a perfect marriage. Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, is in love with another woman. So, this cookbook writer turns to food for solace. And in between trying to win Mark back and loudly wishing him dead, Nora Ephron’s irrepressible heroine offers some of her favorite recipes. Heartburn is a sinfully delicious novel, as soul-satisfying as mashed potatoes and as airy as a perfect souffle.

    Delicious!

    by Ruth Reichl

    From the celebrated food writer, Ruth Reichl, comes a novel about Billie Breslin, a young girl who has just started her dream job at the iconic food magazine, Delicious!. At first she feels like a fish out of water, but soon she is welcomed by the magazine’s colorful staff who open up her world to the culinary delights the city has to offer. But when Delicious! is abruptly shut down, Billie takes a job maintaining the hotline for reader complaints in order to pay her bills. While there she finds a cache of letters written during WWII by Lulu Swan, a plucky twelve-year-old, to the legendary chef James Beard. Lulu’s letters provide Billie with a richer understanding of history, and a feeling of deep connection to the young writer and inspires her to open her heart to love.
