The Recipe Club, written by Andrea Israel and Nancy Garfinkel, is a "novel cookbook" that combines a story about childhood friends Lilly and Val with more than 80 recipes. As girls, the pair form an exclusive club, writing letters to each other, sharing their hopes, fears, secrets and recipes. The Recipe Club sustains Lilly and Val's bond through the decades, regardless of what different paths they take or what misunderstandings threaten to break them apart . . . until the fateful day when an act of kindness becomes an unforgivable betrayal. Now, years later, while trying to recapture the trust they've lost, Lilly and Val reunite once more - only to uncover a shocking secret. Israel is a TV producer-writer, while Garfinkel is a graphic designer and food writer. You can read an excerpt at their website.
