Description

A butcher, a baker, a jilted homemaker...

For sixty-three-year-old Mebel, retirement means her husband of more than forty years announcing that he's leaving her for their private chef. Mebel isn't sure who's the bigger loss, but she has the perfect plan to win him back: she'll finally learn to cook.

However, Mebel quickly realizes she's accidentally booked herself into a culinary school not in Paris but rather in a small English village. Despite the frosty welcome from her much younger classmates, Mebel manages to befriend Gemma, the breakout star of the program. When Gemma stops showing up to class, Mebel knows she must figure out what - or who - caused her friend's sudden disappearance. After all, Mebel may not know the first thing about how to cut a potato, but she certainly knows how to identify a fraud, and there's definitely something fishy going on...
