The Key Ingredient Audiobook Summary
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs comes a wonderful short story, and companion tale to her unforgettable novel Family Tree
Every great love story has a beginning. Annie Rush’s started at a food cart in a vibrant city park. Annie, then a film student, came across a ruggedly handsome, charismatic chef serving up gourmet street food to an ever-growing clientele lining up for his creations. Together, Annie and Martin Harlow conceived The Key Ingredient, a cooking show featuring Martin as the star while Annie handles production.
As they travel to Annie’s Vermont hometown to film their pilot episode, she realizes that she might want to create more than television magic with Martin. But does he feel the same way? The weather is miserable, their shoot is a disaster, and the maple syrup just isn’t flowing. While Annie tries to cling to her vision for their show, she can’t help but wonder if she could be as unlucky in work as she is in love. Is she always destined to stay behind the scenes?
Just as some recipes only come together at the last minute with the addition of a key ingredient, sometimes a single moment can change everything–turning Annie’s life into a cornucopia of good fortune, the feast of her dreams.

Susan Wiggs introduces her upcoming Family Tree with her prequel short story, THE KEY INGREDIENT, with a delicious stunning, front cover - a story of love, recipes, food, and an idyllic Vermont setting. Annie Rush comes from a history of food. Starting a food cart, she met the charming chef, Martin and together they created the famous cooking show, The Key Ingredient. Martin is the star of the show and Annie handles the production. In the short charming teaser, Annie travels to Vermont, her hometown to film their pilot episode. Things do not go as planned. An avid fan of Wiggs, for many years, she is the "queen" of women’s contemporary stories of the heart - from love, family, and hope. The Key Ingredient and Family Tree both have all the essentials for a Hallmark Channel TV series.I listened to the audiobook narrated by Christina Traister, delivering a heartwarming performance. A nice promotion as an introduction sneak preview for upcoming Family Tree. Highly recommend; where we continue the saga of Annie Rush. As sweet as maple sugar, a fan of Vermont, short stories, and the author. A nice way to introduce a new and charming series. JDCMustReadBooks

I was a little annoyed that after starting Family Tree I found that there was either a prequel or a portion that was left on the editing floor. Which ever one it is it is The Key Ingredient. Was it an after thought on Susan Wigg's behalf or her editor's remorse for cutting it? Happy I was able to puck it up FREE at the library and honestly it should have been offered free to anyone that purchased Family Tree.In short it was a cute story and a much needed part of Annie's story.

A woman with passion for hosting a cook show at a very early age kept it alive and raced for her dreams to become reality which happened with a flash back into her past and a flash forward to the present day of her life and love life too. Very good book!!!

Suuuuuper fast read, its a prequel to The Family Tree that I read a while ago. Took some time to get this one from the library for how short of an ebook it was.

I always love Susan Wiggs novels/stories. The Key Ingredient is no exception. The feelings and experiences of the main character are always so relatable that I end up discovering another world and rediscovering myself in every story. Only complaint is that this is a short story! I can't wait for Family Tree to be released in August.
