From the New York Times bestselling author of Shoe
Addicts Anonymous and Always Something There to Remind Me, When in
Doubt, Add Butter by Beth Harbison a delicious new novel about the search
for true love and all the ingredients that go into it.
As far as Gemma is concerned, her days of dating are over. In
fact, it’s her job to cater other peoples’ dates, and that’s just fine by her.
At thirty-seven, she has her own business, working as a private chef, and her
life feels full and secure. She’s got six steady clients that keep her hands
full.
There’s Lex, the fussy but fabulous department store owner who
loves Oysters Rockefeller and 1950s comfort food; Willa, who needs to lose
weight under doctor’s orders but still believes butter makes everything better;
a colorful family who may or may not be part of the Russian mob; an überwealthy
Georgetown family; the picture-perfect Van Houghtens, whose matriarch is
“allergic to everything”; and finally, a man she calls “Mr. Tuesday,” whom she
has never met but who she is strangely drawn to.
For Gemma, cooking is predictable. Recipes are certain. Use good
ingredients, follow the directions, and you are assured success. Life, on the
other hand, is full of variables. So when Gemma’s takes an unexpected turn on a
road she always thought was straight and narrow, she must face her past and
move on in ways she never would have imagined. Because sometimes in life, all
you need is a little hope, a lot of courage, and---oh yes---butter.
