Description

A moving, heartwarming and exquisitely funny memoir about one woman's journey from criminal barrister to p tissi re Olivia Potts' mother died when she just twenty-five. Stricken with grief, she did something life changing and rather ridiculous- she gave up a high-flying legal career to study at the notoriously difficult Le Cordon Bleu, despite not being able to cook. No one ever told Olivia you couldn't bake your way to happiness - but could you?
