Enjoyable
Nice and light easy reading.
Return to the 1960s
A delightful tale focusing on a family run failing hotel in rural Dorset with delightful characters. Meg is an aspiring chef, at a time when women were ‘cooks’ and only men were ‘chefs’ and when her mother, as manager of the hotel, requests her support she jumps on a train. Within 30 minutes of arriving she finds that the hotel owner is off in France, the obnoxious chef has fired most of the staff and after a tantrum when his suppliers let him down walks out on the eve of a large banquet. What can she do but take over and save the day? But is the owner’s son happy with her? Not at all, he is all condescension and rudeness when he turns up and tries to throw her out of the kitchen.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Dreadful waste of time ....
Repetitive paragraphs, dreary and unrealistic characters and so utterly predictable and unbelievable storyline ..... not a good read on any level.
