Culinary delights abound, romance lingers in the air, and plans go
terribly, wonderfully astray in this gender-bent take on My Fair
Lady from Jennieke Cohen, author of Dangerous Alliance-perfect for
fans of Bridgerton or A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue. It's
1830s England, and Culinarians-doyens who consult with society's
elite to create gorgeous food and confections-are the creme de la
creme of high society. Helena Higgins, top of her class at the
Royal Academy, has a sharp demeanor and an even sharper palate-and
knows stardom awaits her if she can produce greatness in her final
year. Penelope Pickering is going to prove the value of
non-European cuisine to all of England. Her contemporaries may
scorn her Filipina heritage and her dishes, but with her flawless
social graces and culinary talents, Penelope is set to prove them
wrong. Elijah Little has nothing to his name but a truly excellent
instinct for flavors. London merchants won't allow a Jewish boy to
own a shop, so he hawks his pasties for a shilling a piece to
passersby-but he knows with training he can break into the highest
echelon of society. When Penelope and Helena meet Elijah, a golden
opportunity arises: to pull off a project never seen before, and
turn Elijah from a street vendor to a gentleman chef. But Elijah's
transformation will have a greater impact on this trio than they
originally realize-and mayhem, unseemly faux pas, and a little
romance will all be a part of the delicious recipe.

if he does, or will it just be too disgusting? Children will love
the 'yuck factor' of the ending, when the badger ditches the
sandwich in favour of slurping up all the slimy slugs Beautifully
written with satisfying repetition and a refrain children will love
