In Dianne Blacklock's latest novel The Secret Ingredient, Andie discovers the secret ingredient for a new life. The summary says: "Nourishment is nurture. That's what Andie learned from her grandmother and what she's always believed about cooking. But somehow, since marrying Ross, she's allowed her love of food to take a back seat and given up her dream of becoming a chef. Lately she's been craving more. And when her marriage falls apart, she's determined to find herself again and take back control of her destiny. The first step is taking a job in the kitchen of renowned chef Dominic Gerou. The brooding Englishman is more than Andie bargains for but the new Andie is ready for anything, even a bad-tempered chef who makes it clear he won't tolerate mistakes." The Secret Ingredient is out in November.
