A story about a female victim of mid twentieth century male chauvinism, thwarted in her chosen chemistry career and hit by personal tragedy, who becomes a TV chef by accident. Not a light sounding storyline, perhaps, but an unusual lady who is no ordinary chef. While the feminism is a strong part of the mix this very individual novel is anything but preachy. The witty writing keeps you eagerly reading until the last page.
