Summary:

"She was told, 'Girls belong in the kitchen', but her destiny was to rule it as a chef. London-based restaurateur Arun and his assistant Ben are on a business trip. They stop at a roadside café in Himachal Pradesh and are astonished with its European looks and Italian menu. A cynical Arun samples a dish and is blown away by its authenticity. His astonishment turns into disbelief when he learns that the cook is Sita, a simple mountain girl who has never in her life stepped outside her village. [...] Arun recognizes Sita's extraordinary talents and convinces her to move to London and become a chef at his restaurant. [...] She embarks on a journey, navigating the cut-throat and often ugly world of gourmet chefs where gender conventions and racial undercurrents can make or break careers." -- Back cover
