Mrs. Louisa Northcott puts her heart into her pastry dough, but she keeps her dreams under lock and key.

At forty-two, Louisa is the unacknowledged queen of Bath’s culinary scene. Her shop is always full, but her name is unknown outside the city limits. She has poured a lifetime of kitchen wisdom into a revolutionary manuscript—French Cooking for the English Hearth—only to have it stolen by a scoundrel of a publisher who intends to credit a famous male chef. Louisa is ready to give up, until a stranger collapses on her doorstep.

Sir Julian Fane is the most feared food critic in London, known as "The Wolf of Fleet Street."

Or at least, he was. At forty-eight, Julian is suffering from a critic’s worst nightmare: he has completely lost his sense of taste. Sour, cynical, and secretly terrified, he flees to Bath to hide his affliction. But when he wakes up in a warm kitchen smelling of yeast and vanilla, he discovers that Louisa’s simple broth is the first thing he has tasted in months.

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but the way to his redemption is much more complicated.

Julian knows he should reveal his identity, especially since it was one of his scathing reviews that ruined Louisa’s father years ago. But he can’t bring himself to leave the comfort of her kitchen—or her presence. When Louisa discovers the theft of her book, Julian realizes he must use his ruthless reputation one last time.

To reclaim her work, they must travel to London and challenge the imposter chef to a public "Battle of the Banquets." But if they win, Julian risks exposing his own secret—and losing the only woman who ever taught him that life is meant to be savored.
