Meringue
June Mooney is in utter despair when she learns of her husband’s disappearance. With no one to turn to and a third child on the way, her future appears hopeless until she discovers an enchanted recipe for meringue tucked away in the attic.
Thanks to a batch of divine meringue pâtisseries, a new chapter in June’s life begins with the opening of a French-inspired café. As she bakes away her sorrows, the humble restaurant flourishes. However, when June revamps the menu, setting aside the charmed concoction, disaster follows. The magic in the little café dwindles while conflict arises in the family. Soon, June is struck by another misfortune when Harold D’Alembert, an acclaimed French chef, opens an exquisite restaurant right next door…
