When Freya first found Charlie on a dating app he seemed like her ideal match - a foodie who was into photography, loved to travel and had huge ambition. A year into their relationship she's now realising this translates to 'loves a cheeky Nando's', 'spends a long time filtering iPhone pics of food Freya has cooked', 'likes a holiday' and the ambition was just for Arsenal winning some cup.
Freya basically runs the kitchen at the Mediterranean restaurant she works in but they refuse to make her Head Chef. Craving change and some excitement, Freya decides she needs to take matters into her own hands. Ending things with Charlie and quitting her job, Freya packs a bag and swaps Nottinghamshire for Cyprus.
Signing up for the prestigious Golden Spoon culinary competition, Freya is determined to rediscover her passion for food and life, what she doesn't expect to discover is Xanthos. As gorgeous as he is charming - he's quite the dish - and Freya is instantly attracted to him, but this trip was about being single, doing something for herself, proving she doesn't need a man and working out what she wants. But if she walks away, will Freya spend the rest of her life wondering What If
Sparkling with wit and warmth, this charming romance from Ginger Jones is utterly delicious. * Woman's Own *
Ginger Jones is a fiery redhead with a love for chocolate, spicy food and swimming al fresco. She collects chintzy china teacups, drinks loose leaf Darjeeling and loves fifties fashion. Most of her writing time is spent in the company of Lulu, her schnoodle who has helped and hindered the creation of You had me at Halloumi and What the Focaccia in equal measure.
Ginger loves comic writing. Her influences are Caitlin Moran, Helen Fielding and Nora Ephron. Having previously written for the stage, she finds the live buzz of theatre exhilarating and enjoys nothing more than finding fringe venues she never knew existed.
She and Lulu look forward to penning many more novels together.
