Miss Cecily's Recipes for Exceptional Ladies
Miss Cecily's Recipes for Exceptional Ladies Author:Vicky Zimmerman An unlikely friendship between two stubborn, lonely souls anchors this big-hearted book and dares us all to ask for more. — When her life falls apart on the eve of her 40th birthday, Kate Parker finds herself volunteering at the Lauderdale House for Exceptional Ladies. There she meets 97-year-old Cecily Finn. Cecily's tongue... more » is as sharp as her mind, but she's fed up with pretty much everything.
Having no patience for Kate's choices in life or love, Cecily prescribes her a self-help book... of sorts. Thought for Food: an unintentionally funny 1950s cookbook high on enthusiasm, featuring menus for anything life can throw at the "easily dismayed," such as:
Breakfast with a Hangover
Tea for a Crotchety Aunt
Dinner for a Charming Stranger
As she and Cecily break out of their ruts, Kate will learn far more than recipes.
A feel-good summer read with a wicked sense of humor, Vicky Zimmerman's book will teach you that food is for feasting, friends are for savoring, and the way to a man's heart is... irrelevant.« less
