The funeral ladies of Ellerie County : a novel / by Swinarski, Claire,author.;
"Esther Larson has been cooking for funerals in the Northwoods of Wisconsin for seventy years. Known locally as the "funeral ladies," she and her cohort have worked hard to keep the mourners of Ellerie County fed-it is her firm belief that there is very little a warm casserole and a piece of cherry pie can't fix. But, after falling for an internet scam that puts her home at risk, the proud Larson family matriarch is the one in need of help these days. Iris, Esther's whip-smart Gen Z granddaughter, would do anything for her family and her community. As she watches her friends and family move out of their lakeside town onto bigger and better things, Iris wonders why she feels so left behind in the place she is desperate to make her home. But when Cooper Welsh shows up, she finally starts to feel like she's found the missing piece of her puzzle. Cooper is dealing with becoming a legal guardian to his younger half-sister after his beloved stepmother dies. While their celebrity-chef father is focused on his booming career and top-ranked television show, Cooper is still hurting from a public tragedy he witnessed last year as a paramedic and finding it hard to cope. With Iris in the gorgeous Ellerie County, though, he hopes he might finally find the home he's been looking for. It doesn't seem like a community cookbook could possibly solve their problems, especially one where casseroles have their own section and cream of chicken soup mix is the most frequently used ingredient. But when you mix the can-do spirit of Midwestern grandmothers with the stubborn hope of a boy raised by food plus a dash of long-awaited forgiveness--things might just turn out okay"--

The dead husband cookbook / by Valentine, Danielle,author.;
"One Husband, Well Done ... In 1987, Maria and Damien Capello co-opened Polpette Della Nonna, a much beloved Italian restaurant in upstate New York. Despite its immense popularity, Polpette closed suddenly in 1995, shortly after Damien's untimely death. The media circus was intense, gossip swirling around the mysterious matriarch, claiming Maria murdered her husband to build her culinary empire on his bones-but the entire Capello family maintained their stony silence. Until now. Thea Woods has no idea why she was chosen to work with Maria on her sure-to-be-infamous memoir, but she doesn't question her luck, leaving her husband and daughter behind to join the Capellos on their rustic, idyllic upstate farm. But something's not quite right with the close-knit clan. Damien isn't the only person caught in the Capello's snare that's gone missing and as the stench of rot hidden beneath the kind coastal grandmother veneer rises, Thea may find herself trapped at the center of the greatest scandal to rock the culinary world since Damien's increasingly suspicious disappearance-assuming she can live long enough to tell the tale. Because there are reasons why Damien's body was never found ... and why, in over thirty years, Maria Capello has never revealed the secret ingredient in her most famous recipe"--

He falls first / by Shalvis, Jill,author.;
"No one is going to convince her to fall in love again ... Ryder Colburn has his hands full running the family business and caring for the ailing father who's a virtual stranger from the cold, heavy-handed man he used to be. He's got zero free time for hobbies or women. Or so he thinks until one walks into his life ... and the path of an oncoming truck. Ryder doesn't mind playing the hero for the skittish, wounded chef Penny Rose. Maybe it's the secrets in her eyes or the bandage along her jaw. Whatever the reason, he's compelled to get closer. Penny's learned her lesson and now she's paying the price. That's why she's sharing a dilapidated house in a tiny California town with her feisty grandmother and tween brother living off the leftovers from her catering job. It's a far cry from her dream life. But who needs dreams ... or love ... or sex ... when there's amateur plumbing projects to tackle and breakfast casseroles to bake? One thing's for sure, she's never falling for a man again. Not even the sexy, snarky contractor who keeps testing the walls she's built"--

A good Indian girl / by Shah, Mansi(Novelist),author.;
Jyoti has always been the ideal second-generation Indian daughter. She stayed out of trouble, looked after her younger sisters and married a man her parents approved of. So when her husband, Ashok, forces her to quit her dream job as head chef of his family's restaurant to focus on starting a family, she obliges. But despite Jyoti's tireless efforts to provide children, when it becomes clear that she cannot carry a baby to term, Ashok leaves her for a younger woman. Jyoti's new status as an unemployed divorcee is a disgrace to her traditional Gujarati family, and she flees New York to visit her best friend in Tuscany. Sumptuous meals, warm Italian sunshine and la bella vita reawaken the passion that Jyoti has lost, leading to a serendipitous opportunity that could help her buy Ashok's restaurant. But when Jyoti's Indian-Italian culinary fusion unexpectedly goes viral, her aunties immediately find out and gossip ensues, estranging her even further from her family back home. Then a shocking revelation comes to light, leading Jyoti to reconsider her relationship with Ashok. Now she must decide what she truly desires--family approval, career growth, even motherhood--before the summer ends.
