Official synopsis Publisher
★ An Italian food-themed short story sure to delight fans of Delicious and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and the movies Big Night and Chocolat.
Mary Angela-an aging, reclusive, Italian widow-is drawn into baking bread for a high-end corner restaurant in her gentrifying neighborhood. It’s a recipe for disaster to her husband who haunts her kitchen.
At a time when we are social distancing, and too often confined to our own kitchens (baking too much bread), dear Mary Angela arrives. Like us, she longs to hold on to a past she loved while hoping for a more certain future. A testament to finding both a purpose and love later in life, her tale of romance is sure to delight readers of any age.
Included with her humorous yet haunting short story are four authentic Italian recipes, including Mary Angela’s carbonara, Focaccia bread, and tagliatelle. The heady aroma of love and garlic lingers on every page. ♥
