A recipe for disaster.

When chef Paul Delamare agrees to help his old friend Christian by teaching at an exclusive residential cookery school in Belgravia, the only thing he expects his students to murder is his taste buds. But on the first night, the unthinkable happens: someone turns up dead...

The school rests on a knife-edge.

Could one of his students be the killer? Or Rose - the owner of the school, a woman with secrets and a murky past? The police are convinced Paul is the culprit. After all, he's good with a blade, was first on the scene - and everyone knows what chefs are really like.

It all boils down to murder.

The students are sharpening their knives and if Paul can't solve the mystery fast - as well as teach them how to make a perfect hollandaise sauce - he'll be next to get the chop.

Wonderful characters brilliantly brought to life with a dash of spice!

This is a charming and lighthearted romp through the kitchen of a culinary sleuth. Sebastian Humphreys breathes fun, heart, life and depth into a fabulous array of Poirot-esque characters, as well as voicing a detective chef who will doubtless pull on your heart strings. An ideal gift for a food lover with plenty of recipes and cookery instruction poured into the mix by Orlando Murrin. I laughed, cried and loved it. An easy dish, if not entirely perfectly constructed...the story will nevertheless make you think about food and love and life...
