Can a woman's quest for community cooking lead beyond the grave to happiness and love?
Lucy Ingram, a food and lifestyle journalist, has spent three years navigating the grief of losing her beloved husband, Charlie. With her enthusiasm for writing about haute cuisine as flat as an undercooked souffle, she seeks solace in a unique assignment blending community cooking with heartfelt remembrance. As Lucy explores the poignant tradition of recipes etched on gravestones, she discovers not only the stories of those who have passed but also their connection to those still living. To fulfil a promise made to Charlie, Lucy must also confront her formidable mother-in-law and the Ingram family secrets. Has Lucy jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire as she arrives on the Sunshine Coast? When a charming local publican enters her life, Lucy faces an unexpected dilemma - will she let love simmer once more, or will the thought of loving again serve as a stubborn barrier?
Filled with rich flavours and the promise of second chances, this is a tender exploration of love, loss, community and the power of recipes that bring us back to the ones we hold dear.
Written on Stone weaves together themes of loss and renewal, mature romance and second chances, a sense of place, community, cooking and food.
