Growing up in New York, Anais Alexandre was always known as a culinary prodigy and was certain she'd become one of the best chefs the world had ever known. But life dealt her a different hand and she was unable to pursue her dream of attending culinary school after finishing high school. Now a beautiful, hip, and sexy 23-year-old newly minted social worker, she accepts a job in an emergency shelter for girls and continues to indulge in her passion for cooking by moonlighting as a romantic caterer. But at some point her two worlds begin to converge-her life becomes an amalgamation of unbelievably provocative and often erotically compromising encounters in both jobs on a regular basis. Taking us from the eclectic cliffside manors hidden in clandestine enclaves that offer illuminating views of Pittsburgh's picturesque three rivers to the sensuous sunsets of San Francisco Bay and the romantic elegance of Paris, Anais' alluring and often erotic culinary adventures serve as a welcoming contrast to the breathtaking stories and immensely painful encounters she witnesses in the girls' shelter. Sultry, funny, mysterious, and intimately stimulating, the alluring adventures and captivating cuisine will surely keep you hungry for more. A complimentary electronic Cookbook and Entertainment Guide for each of the featured events mentioned in the novel is available online.
