How to Cook a Tart by Nina Killham

Revenge is oh so sweet...Jasmine March is a larger-than-life celebrity chef whose sumptuous food is so wickedly delicious that she's just been dumped by the television networks for having too many calories in her recipes. Meanwhile her husband's having a mid-life crisis - and an affair with one of his tofu-eating, stick-insect-sized students. And her daughter is so determined not to end up like her generously-proportioned mother that she hardly eats at all. Any lesser woman would have collapsed like a souffle, but Jasmine March is determined to strike a blow for the pleasures of real food - and real-shaped women. Her mission: to bring Food with a capital F back to our low fat, calorie-counted plates. Supermodels beware: Jasmine's got butter and she's prepared to use it! A rich, dark chocolate delight of a novel about food, family and infidelity.
