More Than Ingredients

A Novel of the Saturday Supper Club

Four strangers. One cooking class. A friendship that will change everything.

Eleanor thought she had it all figured out—until divorce shattered her carefully constructed life. Maria is drowning in suburban chaos, secretly wondering if she's lost herself entirely. Chloe guards her heart behind headphones and sharp edges, terrified of connection. And Judith, at seventy, has nearly given up on finding joy again. When these four women meet in a beginner cooking class at the Centerville Community Center, none of them expects more than a few new recipes.

What they discover instead will transform their lives.

As the weeks unfold, their Sunday morning cooking lessons become something far more nourishing than any dish they create. Through shared laughter and honest tears, through burnt soufflés and perfect pie crusts, four unlikely friends learn that the most important ingredient in any recipe is the people you share it with.

In this heartwarming novel, you'll find:

• A multigenerational story of women supporting women
• The healing power of found family and second chances
• Small-town charm with big emotional payoffs
• Characters you'll want to invite to your own table

Eleanor will learn that perfection isn't the same as happiness. Maria will rediscover her own dreams. Chloe will finally let someone in. And Judith will prove that it's never too late to find your people.

MORE THAN INGREDIENTS is a celebration of friendship, resilience, and the courage to start over—at any age.

Perfect for readers who love heartfelt women's fiction with unforgettable characters and an ending that will leave you believing in the power of connection.

The narration was all over the place

Though the theme of the story was very cute and sweet, the story was all over the place. It feels like the transcript was dropped and shuffled. The story would suddenly jump ahead or behind in the middle of a chapter or repeat something from the last chapter. It felt like a bunch of drafts were smashed together. I think it's the fault of the AI narration but I can't verify without a physical book.
