An 'Umble Cook

About the Book

Jack Kennedy was destined to make it to the top of the culinary tree. Steely determination saw him through ten years in one of France's finest kitchens; a sense of humour, a passion for music and the love of an adorable woman helped him survive the attentions of a merciless, punk loving sous-chef.

Teaming up with one of Mayfair's most influential socialites guaranteed him a place on the lofty perch reserved for celebrity chefs. Escaping the golden cage would prove to be more dangerous, more frightening than he ever imagined.

Consider the souffle -- the pace at which it rises is disproportionate to the speed with which it falls.
