Description

Culinary delights abound, romance lingers in the air, and plans go terribly, wonderfully astray in this gender-bent take on My Fair Lady from Jennieke Cohen, author of Dangerous Allianceperfect for fans of Bridgerton or A Gentlemans Guide to Vice and Virtue.

Its 1830s England, and Culinariansdoyens who consult with societys elite to create gorgeous food and confectionsare the crme de la crme of high society.

Helena Higgins, top of her class at the Royal Academy, has a sharp demeanor and an even sharper palateand knows stardom awaits her if she can produce greatness in her final year.

Penelope Pickering is going to prove the value of non-European cuisine to all of England. Her contemporaries may scorn her Filipina heritage and her dishes, but with her flawless social graces and culinary talents, Penelope is set to prove them wrong.

Elijah Little has nothing to his name but a truly excellent instinct for flavors. London merchants wont allow a Jewish boy to own a shop, so he hawks his pasties for a shilling a piece to passersbybut he knows with training he can break into the highest echelon of society.

When Penelope and Helena meet Elijah, a golden opportunity arises: to pull off a project never seen before, and turn Elijah from a street vendor to a gentleman chef.

But Elijahs transformation will have a greater impact on this trio than they originally realizeand mayhem, unseemly faux pas, and a little romance will all be a part of the delicious recipe.
