Sugar and Spice and All Those Lies

Description

Cooking a great meal is an act of love. An act of grace. A life-affirming gift. These are lessons Gina learns from her mother, daughter of a French chef.

Gina is a young woman born to poor parents; a nobody (her words) who gets lucky when she’s chosen to cook at a Michelin-starred restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area. She finds a world of new challenges, and new loves—one that exposes her to fascinating people who are also gripped by dark motives.

Can the lessons she learned from her mother about cooking and life help Gina survive and thrive in this other world of privilege, pleasure, and unexpected danger?
