Description
Lila Macapagal finds herself in the thick of a culinary mystery as she returns to her roots in the quaint town of Shady Palms. A dedicated chef, Lila is more passionate about her Filipino heritage and the delicious dishes from Tita Rosie’s kitchen than about romance. However, her world takes a sharp turn when a local food critic turns up dead, and the shadows of suspicion begin to loom over her family’s treasured recipes.
As Lila navigates through the intricate web of town relationships and culinary rivalries, she must uncover the truth behind the murder while managing her family’s expectations and the chaos of running a restaurant. With the pressure mounting, she relies on the vibrant community around her, all while grappling with the intersection of food, family, and secrets that run deeper than she anticipated.
With wit and warmth, this engaging tale flavors the mystery genre with rich cultural elements, inviting readers to savor every twist as Lila races against time to clear her name and find justice for her late friend.
