She believes falling in love is the best thing in the world, and she wants all her characters to experience it, and her readers to share their stories. While I’d obviously heard the name Katie Fford, I must admit that this was my first time reading one of her books.

However, she has reckoned without Justin, the son of the hotel owner, who seems determined to take over the running of the kitchen.With the assistance of some of the locals and a long-term resident of the hotel, Meg manages to make a good start on preparing the meal, substituting some of the former chef's packet ingredients for more season-appropriate fresh ingredients from the extensive kitchen gardens.
