The Secret Ingredient

‘A delicious story that wraps itself around your heart’ Evie Woods, bestselling author of The Lost Bookshop It’s been three years, two weeks and one day since Kate Shaw’s life changed forever. Three years, two weeks and one day that Kate has been angry – with herself and life.

But today is different. Different because Kate has finally taken the step she’s been avoiding…back into the kitchen. Now, what begins as a (disastrous) attempt to make pancakes becomes a culinary journey that is not only a love letter to someone so important to her, but also an unexpected means of connection to a community she never knew she had… Readers are loving The Secret Ingredient: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘It's a long time since a book provoked this much emotional attachment… absolutely wonderful’
