Publisher's Summary

Lucy Muir is leaving her husband. It's complicated. They're joint owners and chefs at one of the best restaurants in town, but a woman can take only so much cheating, recipe stealing and lack of good grace.

Despondently driving around the backstreets of Woolloomooloo one night, Lucy happens upon an old, empty terrace that was once the city's hottest restaurant: Fortune.

More Than A Tale

JD Barrett has a firm and entertaining grip on the art of storytelling. The Secret Recipe for Second Chances bounces the reader through past and present and connects the two seamlessly and coherently. The use of recipes interspersed through the book provide colour and life to the narrative and the way they are added is timed as cleverly as the rise on a prized soufflé. The stories main protagonist is a delight, and although capable and smart, shows the kind vulnerability and anxiety that befalls all of us at some time.
This book is delicious and is as engaging as it is fun.
