When Rachel French finds an unpublished cookery manuscript written by her great-aunt, she sets out to do some research into her aunt's life. She ends up starting a cookery business based on the recipes and publishing an accompanying book. Through her work she soon meets two intriguing men who seem to be interested in her. However, she soon begins to question whether they are in fact interested in her, or just her manuscript. And, someone seems determined to make sure the cookery book never gets published. But why? As Rachel delves into the past and finds out more about her great-aunt's life as cook for Crandene Castle in Kent in the early twentieth century, she unearths some secrets that perhaps should have been left buried.
