An unscrupulous new rival has pushed Goldy's beloved
catering business to the brink of collapse. An even more
unscrupulous local contractor has left her precious
kitchen in a shambles. Yet Goldy has joined forces with
her old mentor, French chef Andre Hibbard, to cater a
fashion photo shoot at a turn-of-the-century mountain
cabin. There, in a hopelessly outdated kitchen, Goldy and
the temperamental but kindhearted Andre struggle to create
warming Models' Mushroom Soup, Savory Florentine
Cheesecakes, and a luscious spread for a vain and vacuous
crowd of beautiful people whose personal dramas climax
when a camera is pitched through a plateglass
window...into the buffet. Now Goldy readies for a society
soiree tasting party against her archnemesis that could
make or break her career. As she prepares Big Bucks Bread
Pudding, Andre's Coq au Vin, and Jailbreak Potatoes, Goldy
faces the shock of a second murder closer to home.
Suddenly she must find the ingredients of a mystery that
includes the dead contractor's unwholesome past, a food
saboteur, the theft of four historical cookbooks, and an
overzealous D.A. who has suspended Goldy's detective
husband Tom from the force. What she comes up with is the
perfect recipe for murder. And Goldy may be the next one
on the menu!
