    About this audiobook

    Food, friendship, family, and a fresh start.

    Shelby Preston, a young single mother, is at a crossroads. She feels suffocated by her hardscrabble life in rural Georgia and dreams of becoming a professional chef. Lord knows her family could use a pot of something good.

    In Atlanta, Mallory Lakes is reeling from a bad breakup. The newspaper food columnist is also bracing for major changes at work that could put her job at risk. Determined to find the perfect recipe for how to reinvent herself, she gets involved in the growing farm-to-table movement. But an emotional setback threatens to derail everything she's worked for.

    Shelby and Mallory couldn't be more different. But through their shared passion for food, they form an unlikely friendship-a bond that just might be their salvation.

    This heartwarming and lyrical tale reminds us that family isn't necessarily whom you're related to-it's whom you invite to your table.

    This is a new release of a previously published edition titled Simmer and Smoke; it contains twenty delightful recipes.

      This is a Southern book about friendship and family and food and even provides recipes at the end for some real Southern down home food. It's the story of Shelby and Mallory, two friends in Georgia who over the course of a year need to be strong women to try to make their dreams come true. It's a fun book to read and my advice is not to read it on an empty stomach because the food descriptions will make you even hungrier.It was a fun book to read.Thanks to goodreads for a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
