"Taste was such an evocative sense..."

Since marrying Ross, Andie's allowed her love of food to take a back seat and given up her dream of becoming a chef. But then her marriage falls apart.

After the shock subsides, Andie is determined to rediscover her passion and take back control of her life.

The first step is taking a job in the kitchen of renowned chef Dominic Gerou. The brooding Englishman is a handful, but the new Andie is ready for anything, even a bad-tempered chef who makes it clear he won't tolerate mistakes.

Dianne Blacklock takes us on a sumptuous journey of the heart as Andie uncovers the secret ingredient for her new life, and shows that no matter how many false starts you may have, if you hold on to your dreams, anything is possible.
