    About this audiobook

    New York Times bestselling author Beth Harbison whips together a witty and charming--and delicious--story about the secrets we keep, the friends we make, and the food we cook.

    MUST LOVE BUTTER: The Cookbook Club is now open to members. Foodies come join us! No diets! No skipping dessert!

    Margo Everson sees the call out for the cookbook club and knows she’s found her people. Recently dumped by her self-absorbed husband, who frankly isn’t much of a loss, she has little to show for her marriage but his ‘parting gift’—a dilapidated old farm house—and a collection of well-loved cookbooks

    Aja Alexander just hopes her new-found friends won’t notice that that every time she looks at food, she gets queasy. It’s hard hiding a pregnancy, especially one she can’t bring herself to share with her wealthy boyfriend and his snooty mother.  

    Trista Walker left the cutthroat world of the law behind and decided her fate was to open a restaurant…not the most secure choice  ever. But there she could she indulge her passion for creating delectable meals and make money at the same time. 

    The women bond immediately, but it’s not all popovers with melted brie and blackberry jam.  Margo’s farm house is about to fall down around her ears; Trista’s restaurant needs a makeover and rat-removal fast; and as for Aja, just how long can you hide a baby bump anyway?

    In this delightful novel, these women form bonds that go beyond a love grilled garlic and soy sauce shrimp. Because what is more important in life than friendship…and food?

      It’s a truism that the way we see food, like everything else in this divided world of ours, is based on where we live and what class we belong to. Or perhaps what class we used to belong to, and the one we’re aspiring to. Our opinions of food can be

      I so didn't want this book to end. It was a perfect weekend comfort read with recipes talked about from new and old cookbook favorites! Add some happy endings to it and it is a great thing to have during these hard times. We need many more books like this !
