Published by Arrrow as a paperback original, the book by Miriam Morrison tells the story of Jake Goldman and Harry Hunter, who have been deadly rivals through culinary school.

Now at the top of their game, fate throws them together again when they open their first restaurants in the small town of Easedale, just a few hundred metres from each other. Sharp knives and heavy pans at the ready, they start cooking up a storm to entice the locals their way.

Cue Kate, a journalist whose only hope for salvaging her fledgling career is a down-and-dirty, tell-all feature about the seedy underbelly of the restaurant business.

When one of Jake's waitresses deserts him (and surreptitiously joins forces with the darkside (ie Harry's), Kate applies for the job, hoping the undercover investigation will get her all she needs to sort out her dead-end job – and maybe even her no-hope love life. Little does she know when she follows the alluring smells into Jake's kitchen, that she is in for a major surprise…

Funny, clever and warm-hearted, Recipe for Disaster is a tale of kitchen disasters, domestic calam-ities and love against all odds.
