The Monday Night Cooking School (paperback) Erica Bauermeister

On Monday nights, eight people gather in Lillian's restaurant for a cooking class. There's Claire, who can barely remember the last time she went out with her two kids; bachelor Ian, who exists on Chinese takeaways; Chloe, the distracted waitress who is forever dropping things; Carl and Helen, overcoming a betrayal in their marriage; widower Tom, mourning the tragic loss of his wifel and Isabelle, who is holding onto her memories before they fade away. Tying all of the would-be0chefs together is Lillian, the culinary virtuoso who taught herself how to cook to reach out to her unhappy mother.
