You’ve Got Mail meets Julie & Julia in the new foodie fiction from the author of Recipe for Disaste…

"The love impulse in man frequently reveals itself in terms of conflict."

-Stacey Ballis, Wedding Girl

"Don't knock homespun. All comfort food is homespun, and according to you and my cooking magazines, comfort food is the trend. You do what you do, do it as best you can, and if you don't win, at least you know you didn't compromise who you are in an effort to please someone else."

-Stacey Ballis, Wedding Girl

"After escargots swimming in garlic butter, steak with the crispiest, thinnest fries imaginable, and simple salads of butter lettuce in a peppery Dijon vinaigrette, we share a cheese course, followed by a trio of desserts: lemon tart for me, blueberry bread pudding for Jean, and a poached pear for Ruth."

-Stacey Ballis, Wedding Girl

"Bubbles enters with a plate overflowing with rugelach. The three of us fall silent as we indulge in the small snail-shaped pastries of tender cream-cheese-infused dough wrapped around various fillings: one with walnuts and cinnamon, one bursting with chocolate, one with a thick, sweet poppy seed paste, and one with apricot jam that has been bumped up with some chewy bits of diced dried apricots."

-Stacey Ballis, Wedding Girl
