Melissa Senate's latest is a delightful story of a brokenhearted young woman's longing to find her place in the world. Though Holly Maquire has suffered several crushing losses, she's determined to change her life. Believing she can learn the secrets of her grandmother's recipes and therefore preserve her legacy of magical Italian cooking, Holly sets off on a new venture that she's ill prepared to handle. But with dogged determination and a few new friends, Holly grows and learns and ultimately surprises herself.
Sprinkled with a bit of old-world superstition, The Love Goddess' Cooking School is a charming novel that explores the mess we all can create in our lives and in our kitchens.

I've been reading so much YA lately (which I love) that I've forgotten how much I love a really good chick-lit book. Thanks to Melissa Senate for reminding me.
The basic plot was the same as in most chick-lit books. Girl gets heartbroken but gets over the guy, grows stronger, and finds a new love. But I loved the characters in this one. Especially Liam and Mia.
Liam seems like such a great guy. He's a great dad (which is so hot), is a gentleman, and romantic! It doesn't seem like there are guys like that out there any more. And Mia was such a fun twelve year old. Sometimes tweens can seem annoying but Mia seemed more mature for her age. A great kid!
And I loved all the cooking in the book. I am not a good cook. But I wish I was! I liked the recipes at the end and I copied one down that didn't seem to hard so I could attempt to cook it later. I look forward to seeing what Melissa Senate writes next!
