Among all this, Kelly has one main goal: to find the magical recipe that will fix her grandmother's mysterious illness. The girls realize that they are the protectors of the magical Cookbook and that there were many others before them, three of whom were Mama P, Ms. Furthermore, they discover that Kelly's odd neighbor Ms.
Kelly, Darbie, and Hannah investigate the magic recipes and face the temptations of using magic to help overcome the everyday challenges of being middle school girls.
Mama P reveals that she knows what the ingredients are and the girls conclude that Mama P knows about the magic because she appears to have extensive knowledge of magical ingredients. The girls visit Mama P’s shop to get the ingredients for recipes. The recipes they find inside have strange names like ' Shut 'Em Up Shortcake' and ' Hazelnut Healing Tart' and require unusual ingredients, such as 'Cedronian vanilla' and 'Taurian thyme'. While making a cake for Kelly's grandma's (who has a mysterious illness and cannot talk) birthday, the girls made the recipe using an ancient yet mysterious cookbook they found in the attic. In the town of Saffron Falls, teenage girls Kelly Quinn, Darbie O'Brien, and Hannah Parker-Kent are best friends who love cooking.
