Publisher Description
Daisy Gumm Majesty, spiritualist to people with more money than sense, is asked by a Salvation Army captain to teach a cooking class for immigrant German ladies. Since Daisy's only culinary talent is burning water, she's sure the captain is nuts.
But Daisy steps up and forces herself to confront her own prejudices about Germans, whom she blames for her veteran-husband's war illness.
Then one of her students disappears and Daisy discovers that the help her students need has nothing to do with cooking—there's an anarchist's scheme about to boil over.
"Daisy's upbeat attitude gives her great appeal. Recommend to fans of Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs." - Booklist

Crazy cooking adventure
In this Daisy Gumm Majesty adventure Daisy is asked to teach a cooking class to some immigrants at the Salvation Army church. As Daisy might be the worst cook ever this gives her a great deal of anxiety and her friends and relatives a great deal of amusement. While the class does go fairly smoothly it brings our Daisy into contact with some questionable people. One she suspects is a German woman in the country illegally (anti German sentiment was extremely bad at that time) and a perplexing woman who is more devious than anticipated. Along the way there’s the usual shenanigans with Mrs. Kincaid and the struggles with Billy and his war injuries. A most amusing read and another fun episode in the series.
