Fantastic – a ripping yarn. If you know the hospitality industry, you’ll recognise the places, the food, the characters, but not only that, it’s a love story, too. A brilliant read' Gregg Wallace ‘Craig Melvin is a vivid and entertaining storyteller, with a real understanding of how to engage readers with a well-crafted yarn. He always cooks up a literary feast' Matt Haig 'If you are missing restaurants, this is ideal lockdown reading to take you to the soul of one. The agony, the ecstasy, the sauciness. Recognisable characters too. A roman à chef' Fay Maschler
