Rachel
begged Maya Hartney of Maya’s Delight to cater the Appleby and Associates
gala. Maya’s greatest sensation is to
watch people go orgasmic over her food. So
when, Rachel’s boss Will Thomas treats her gourmet spread like fine junk food,
she’s hurt by his reaction, one that she never had before. As she leaves, Maya realizes his treatment of
her reminds her of her parents quick to write her off. However, his boss Sir Cuthbert Appleby
lectures him for whatever he did to hurt Maya and demands he take time off
before he burns out; threatening to end the pro bono work Will does for the
worthy Julia House.
Will
visits Maya at her house to persuade her to change her mind and cater the
office dinner; she adamantly refuses as his descriptor “fine” is not good
enough for her to cook the meals. He
offers to be a student in her one-week cooking, but since that is filled she
counters with one-on-one lessons. As
they cook, kiss and fuss, the caterer and the workaholic fall in love.
This
culinary romance is an engaging jocular contemporary. The student fears heart-felt personal
relationships and the instructor’s only previous passion has been cooking
culinary delights for appreciative people. Ellie Darkins bakes
a warm (can’t use fine in order not to alienate Maya) contemporary.
