When Nell Valenti is offered a chance to move to Tuscany to help transform an aging villa into a farm-to-table cooking school, she eagerly accepts. After all, both her job and her love life in America have been feeling stale. But with only three weeks to go before the first group of gastrotourists arrive, the villa is in shambles, and Chef Orlandini is oblivious to the work that needs to be done. When a tourist is found dead on the cooking school's opening night, the murder threatens to undo all of Nell's hard work and she must investigate the murder herself. Because if she fails to solve the case, her career, or even her life, could be next on the chopping block.
