WINNER OF THE FORTNUM & MASON'S DEBUT FOOD BOOK AWARD

'An utterly beautiful, moving, bittersweet book on love and loss. I loved it' DOLLY ALDERTON
_____________________________________________________
Olivia Potts' mother died when she just twenty-five. Stricken with grief, she did something life changing and rather ridiculous: she gave up a high-flying legal career to study at the notoriously difficult Le Cordon Bleu, despite not being able to cook. No one ever told Olivia you couldn't bake your way to happiness - but could you?
