The Second Worst Restaurant in France (Paul Stuart, Bk. 2)

Renowned Scottish cookbook writer Paul Stuart is working on his new book, so when his eccentric cousin Chloe suggests he join her in the French countryside for a writer's retreat, he jumps at the chance. The two quickly befriend their cottage's twin-sister landladies, who also own the local restaurant thought to be the second-worst in all of France.

Paul is conscripted to improve the gastronomy of the village eatery, while Chloe distracts the handsome but incompetent chef. With all this local drama to deal with, Paul finds it next to impossible to focus on writing. He will have to call upon all his experience - with food and with people - to bring order back to the village, and he may just learn something about family, and himself, along the way.
