"In this delectable sequel to The Secret French Recipes of Sophie Valroux, a chef on the rise fuels her passion for cooking while enduring the hardest challenge she's ever faced: She's lost her sense of taste. Everybody wants a piece of grand chef Sophie Valroux. With her once-destroyed reputation fully recovered, Sophie is making her mark in the culinary world as the head chef at the Château de Champvert, the beautiful estate that she inherited from her grandmother. She and her fiancé, Rémi, are closer than ever, and she's bonding with his daughter, Lola. She's even been invited to cook at an exclusive event her culinary idol is attending, and she knows this could be the thing to catapult her to greater heights and maybe even bring her one step closer to her dream of achieving the stars--Michelin stars. Everything should be perfect. But Sophie has a secret: She can't taste a single thing. After she suffers a fall, she realizes that she can no longer taste or smell any of the dishes she makes. Certain that her career will vanish if people find out, Sophie keeps it to herself, not even telling Rémi or canceling on the event. And so she fakes it all: the menus for every meal, the taste of fresh figs, the juicy cherries in the orchard. All she has to do is get through life--and the event--tasteless without missing a single step. Fake it 'til you make it...right?"--
