There is literally nothing not to love in this novel’ Emma Freud ‘Brilliantly fun, witty and warm’ Emma Hughes Sometimes life doesn't follow a recipe… Katy is thirty-six, has recently been dumped by her dull-yet-deceitful fiancé and in a (not-unrelated) moment of madness, abandoned a Solid, Decently Paid Career to pursue her dream of becoming a chef.But, after a year of expensive cookery school and months in Michelin-star kitchens blow-drying edible ferns for free, she finds herself making sandwiches (heritage duck egg and black garlic mayonnaise on sourdough, admittedly, but sandwiches all the same) in a north London café and stuck in an ill-advised situationship with a twentysomething who thinks he’s his generation's answer to Marco Pierre White. Then, a gorgeous doctor strolls in and orders an espresso.Katy is briefly charmed… until she sees the scruffy mutt at his feet.Katy hates dogs — and Dr Dipesh never goes anywhere without Alan.Can she overlook this major red flag?
