false 4944721 5 In this sumptuous new novel, Barbara O’Neal offers readers a celebration of food, family, and love as a woman searches for the elusive ingredient we’re all hoping to find….<br><br>It’s the opportunity Elena Alvarez has been waiting for–the challenge of running her own kitchen in a world-class restaurant. Haunted by an accident of which she was the lone survivor, Elena knows better than anyone how to survive the odds. With her faithful dog, Alvin, and her grandmother’s recipes, Elena arrives in Colorado to find a restaurant in as desperate need of a fresh start as she is–and a man whose passionate approach to food and life rivals her own. Owner Julian Liswood is a name many people know but a man few do. He’s come to Aspen with a troubled teenage daughter and a dream of the kind of stability and love only a family can provide. But for Elena, old ghosts don’t die quietly, yet a chance to find happiness at last is worth the risk. 5010439 30 12 2008 The Lost Recipe for Happiness total:311|5:60|4:115|3:101|2:27|1:8| 311 1125 663 113 0 1 false false Sat Jan 24 12:20:59 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 12:24:53 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Fri Jan 30 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 15:09:47 -0800 2009 Mon Aug 17 19:17:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Apr 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Feb 17 19:37:09 -0800 2009 Sat Apr 18 13:11:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Mon Mar 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 19:57:43 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 19:57:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 19:11:53 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 19:12:06 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 20:36:39 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 20:43:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Dec 10 06:02:40 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 07:55:20 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 06:02:40 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false true Thu Nov 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 13:04:02 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 09:39:06 -0800 2009
