Cinnamon And Gunpowder: A Novel

"Set sail with uptight chef Owen Wedgwood and rowdy pirate “Mad Hannah” Mabbot for a rollicking tale of haute cuisine on the high seas. Wedgwood is a talented but prissy chef to a shipping magnate until Mabbot shoots his employer point-blank and takes him captive. She offers him a deal no chef can refuse: your life in exchange for one magnificent dinner a week, made from whatever’s in the ship’s larders. Skim the family-drama back story, and savor instead Wedgwood’s MacGyver-like ingenuity as he cobbles together bread starters, pheasant mole and brandied mango tart amid the chaos of a pirate ship."
