It's 1830s England, and Culinarians-doyens who consult with society's elite to create gorgeous food and confections-are the crème de la crème of high society. Helena Higgins, top of her class at the Royal Academy, has a sharp demeanour 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 flavours. London merchants won't allow a Jewish boy to own a shop, so he hawks his pasties for a shilling a piece to passers-by-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.
