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? **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** 'A **brilliant****, brave and beautiful** book: **funny** **and charming**; utterly **inspiring** **and life-affirming**' Olivia Sudjic 'A **heart-wrenching yet humorous portrayal of grief**, a **delicious collection of recipes**, an **inspirational tale** of changing careers, and a **feel good love story**' __Vogue__ '**Funny, sharp and sad**.
