There are many reasons to bake: to feed; to create; to
impress; to nourish; to define ourselves; and, sometimes, it
has to be said, to perfect. But often we bake to fill a
hunger that would be better filled by a simple gesture from
a dear one. We bake to love and be loved. In 1966, Kathleen Eaden, cookbook writer and wife of a
supermarket magnate, published The Art of Baking, her guide
to nurturing a family by creating the most exquisite
pastries, biscuits and cakes. Now, five amateur bakers are
competing to become the New Mrs. Eaden. There's Jenny,
facing an empty nest now that her family has flown; Claire,
who has sacrificed her dreams for her daughter; Mike, trying
to parent his two kids after his wife's death; Vicki, who
has dropped everything to be at home with her baby boy; and
Karen, perfect Karen, who knows what it's like to have
nothing and is determined her facade shouldn't slip. As unlikely alliances are forged and secrets rise to the
surface, making the choicest pastry seems the least of the
contestants' problems. For they will learn--as as Mrs. Eaden
did before them--that while perfection is possible in the
kitchen, it's very much harder in life.
