Beautiful book about loving food and family despite our hidden secrets, and the sadness of dealing with a loved one with cancer. Its got chick lit qualities but definitely not fluff. Great read!

This is a wonderful, funny, sad book whose main character is a plus-sized gal. And yes, that is somewhat pertinent to the story. Gladly, it isn't the main focus of the story, but a good part. The main focus is Ellie's love and taking care of her terminally ill uncle, the cooking, nuturing, and her finding love with a new chef in town. One of the best funerals in literature, too!
ETA 5 years after I first reviewed. I still think about this book, and regret that I sent it off. I put it back on my WL today, 6/25/13 so I can read it again.

I finished this book in a little over 24 hours. One of the most engrossing novels I've read in a long time.
