Kim Fay recommends
The Secret War of Julia Child (2024)
Diana R Chambers
"In these pages I was thrilled to discover a Julia who claimed her own strength and conviction before the world defined who she was. Chambers' Julia is deliciously nuanced, and the Asian setting is as enticing as the foods Julia will become known for. Set in the smoldering days of WWII, this novel has everything I love - romance, intrigue, mouthwatering food, and a woman who makes no apologies for her voracious appetite for life!"
Recipe for a Charmed Life (2024)
Rachel Linden
"Recipe for a Charmed Life satisfied my voracious appetite for delectable foodie novels. Linden's exploration of what we lose when we can no longer taste the flavors we love is savory food for thought. This magical story offers the perfect recipe for a gratifying read."
Black Swan Rising (2018)
Lisa Brackmann
"A smart thriller that captures the heat of our country's moral and civic battles."
