Recipe for Love: An utterly delicious feel good romance

‘This fun and witty novel combines mouth-watering recipes, a beautiful location and an intriguing love story and is an absolute must read for all Fforde fans.’ No.1 Magazine

Take one aspiring cook, one judge, and a spoonful of romance...

When Zoe Harper wins a coveted place in a televised cookery competition she's thrilled. It's a chance to cook her way to fame and fortune and the little delicatessen she's set her heart on.

The first task has hardly begun when she finds herself with rather too much on her plate. Not only has she got to contend with the fiercely competitive and downright devious Cher, but she's fast developing an inconvenient crush on one of the judges - the truly delicious Gideon Irving.

All too soon there's more than canapés, cupcakes and cordon bleu at stake. Will Zoe win the competition or is Gideon one temptation too far? And is Zoe really prepared to risk it all for love?

A gorgeously romantic story perfect for fans of Susan Mallery, Mary Kay Andrews and Debbie Macomber.
