Soon, Goldy finds herself on a desperate search for four missing antique cookbooks and a brutal killer.

Publisher Notes

An even more unscrupulous local contractor has left her precious kitchen in a shambles. Yet Goldy has joined forces with her old mentor, French chef André Hibbard, to cater a fashion photo shoot at a turn-of-the-century mountain cabin. There, in a hopelessly outdated kitchen, Goldy and André struggle to create warming Models Mushroom Soup Savory Florentine Cheesecakes, and a luscious spread for a vain and vacuous crowd of beautiful people whose personal dramas climax when a camera is pitched through a plateglass window...into the buffet.Things go swiftly from bad to worse when the infamous building contractor, Gerald Eliot, is found strung up in the house of one of Goldys best friends. Goldy is certain that her friend isnt a killer--even if he had every motive for murder. After all, how many others would have cheerfully strangled unethical Mr. Eliot, including Goldy?Now Goldy readies for a society soiree tasting party against her archnemesis that could make or break her career. As she prepares Big-Bucks Bread Pudding, Andrés Coq au Vin, and Jailbreak Potatoes, Goldy faces the shock of a second murder closer to home. Suddenly she must find the ingredients of a mystery that includes the dead contractor's unwholesome past, a food saboteur and the theft of three historical cookbooks. What she comes up with is the perfect recipe for murder. And Goldy may be the next one on the menu!
