Cookin' for Love
A Novel with Recipes

by Sharon Boorstin



      When cookbook author Miriam Levy's best friend, Kate McGrath, calls and asks Miriam to accompany her on a trip to Malaysia to reconnect with an old lover, Miriam says absolutely not! Not only does Miriam find Malaysia to be a strange and potentially dangerous destination, but she is happy to stay home with her husband now that they've become empty-nesters. Or is she? Pushed to the limit by the feeling that all the romance and tenderness is gone from her marriage, Miriam packs her bags and jets to Malaysia with Kate.

What follows is a decadent romp complete with danger, adventure, passion, adultery and discovery. As Kate frolics with her now-married college flame, Miriam discovers a companion of her own. Mysterious and kind Vijay seems to run into Miriam at just the right times. Is it fate or is it time to head home to her own husband? Whip up some of the scrumptious recipes in this book and get comfortable. It's a page turner! Where else can you find such a spicy plot coupled with equally exciting recipes? The book includes recipes such as "Orgasmic cookies", "Pop-the-question rum cake", and "Love Nest rice pilaf"...to name a few.

This book proves that adventures don't stop just because you're over 40. The memorable and real characters will take you along for the trip of a lifetime, and perhaps inspire you to reconnect with your dreams.
