McCall Smith, Alexander
"Renowned cookbook writer Paul Stuart
renewed and refreshed from his time in Tuscany
has returned to Scotland to work on his new book
The Philosophy of Food in Six Easy Chapters. Writing
though
is complicated by Paul's changed domestic circumstances. His editor and new girlfriend
Gloria
has moved in with him despite not being specifically invited
and she's brought her two rather demanding Siamese cats. When Paul's cousin
Chloe
suggests Paul visit her in the French countryside
Paul jumps at the chance. However
once he arrives
he finds his fortunes tangled up with the infamous local restaurant that gives the book its title."--
