Synopsis The author of the mega-bestseller THE FRIDAY NIGHT KNITTING CLUB presents another hobby-themed heart-warmer, this time centered on the family adventures of a celebrity chef. When her ratings begin to lag, TV cooking star Augusta "Gus" Simpson is forced by her producers to change her format to a reality cooking show filmed in her own kitchen. This switch forces Gus's two daughters, Sabrina and Aimee, to become on-air personalities, which complicates their already chaotic lives, and also introduces a new co-star, a former beauty queen named Carmen Vega, who clashes with Gus from the beginning. The combative chemistry between the reluctant co-stars climbs towards a boiling point, until the cast is sent packing on a team-building weekend to resolve their issues. Needless to say, all's well that ends well, but nothing goes quite as planned, in this clever romp through the sizzling world of celebrity cuisine.
