NEW RELEASE
Recipe For Love - Katie Fforde (2012)
Zoe Harper has always been the helper so it's no surprise that she ends up doing a lot more than she bargained for when she enters a televised cooking competition. Right from the start Zoe gets herself into hot water when she helps a judge get his car out of the mud. She's then stuck with beautiful contestant Che as her roommate. Cher wants nothing more than to win the competition and will go to any length to get her way, much to Zoe's chagrin. Throughout the competition, Zoe finds herself trying to keep her feelings for the sexy judge Gideon in check while also trying to fend off nasty sabotage attempts by Cher. Zoe also finds herself helping the owners of the accommodation a lot more than is necessary and possibly getting herself in over her head. What's a girl to do when her heart is ruling her thoughts? Can Zoe possibly keep up the charade of not being interested in Gideon long enough to win the competition? This is another wonderfully written novel by Fforde. With brilliant characterisations, mouth-watering meals and a heroine who is part hopeless romantic and part realist, you won't want to miss out on this heart-warming story of love and cooking. (AS)
Katie Fforde is delving into the world of TV cooking shows in her latest novel, Recipe for Love. The summary says: "When enthusiastic amateur Zoe wins a coveted place in a televised cookery competition she's thrilled. It's a chance for her to cook her way to fame and fortune and the little delicatessen in the heart of the country she's always dreamed of. The first task has hardly begun when she finds herself with more on her plate than she'd bargained for. 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 mercurial but decidedly sexy Gideon Irving. And all too soon there's more than canapes, cupcakes and cordon bleu at stake." Recipe for Love is out in March.
