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
Alliance?perfect for fans of Bridgerton or A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue. It's 1830s
England and Culinarians?doyens who consult with society's elite to create gorgeous food and
confections?are the crème de la crème of high society. Helena Higgins top of her class at the
Royal Academy has a sharp demeanor and an even sharper palate?and 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 won't allow a Jewish boy to own a shop so he hawks his pasties for a shilling
a piece to passersby?but 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
Elijah's transformation will have a greater impact on this trio than they originally
realize?and mayhem unseemly faux pas and a little romance will all be a part of the delicious
recipe.
