In this delightful sequel to the best-selling comedic novel My Italian Bulldozer, Paul Stuart's travels take him to a French village, where the local restaurant's haute cuisine leaves a lot to be desired. Renowned Scottish cookbook writer Paul Stuart is hard at work on his new book, The Philosophy of Food, but complicated domestic circumstances, and two clingy cats, are making that difficult. So when Paul's eccentric cousin Chloe suggests that he join her at the house she's rented in the French countryside, he jumps at the chance. The two quickly befriend the locals, including their twin-sister landladies, who also own the infamous local restaurant known to be the second-worst eatery in all of France. During their stay, the restaurant's sole waitress gives birth mid-dinner service and the ma tre d' storms off after fighting with the head chef. Paul is soon drafted to improve the gastronomy of the village, while Chloe, ever on the hunt for her next romance, busies herself with distracting the handsome but incompetent chef. Could he be husband number six? With all this local drama to deal with, Paul finds it next to impossible to focus on his writing, and that's before he learns that Chloe's past is far more complicated than he'd ever imagined. Paul will have to call upon al his experience--with food and with people--to bring order back to the village. And he may just learn something about family--and about himself--along the way.
This book is the result of a challenge which involved individuals taking a 10 note from our Treasurer. It's not normal for a Treasurer to dole out money, but she took the risk and added a stern instruction that those who took the challenge had to make the money grow. The idea, of course, derives from the parable of the talents in the New Testament. My response to the challenge was to ask the congregation of St. Piran's Church, Perranarworthal, Cornwall to contribute written pieces with the intention of compiling and publishing a book. It was my hope that the book could then be purchased, thereby increasing the original sum for the benefit of the church. You are holding the result in your hands. It contains prose, poetry, personal stories, both true and imaginary, non-fiction and a wealth of social history and information that will, no doubt, be a lasting legacy for those involved and their families and friends.
The central theme of the stories is the importance of time. It's nature's gift to all of us and we are all subject to its passing from the moment we draw our first breath, and yet we have no control over the speed of its passing. We can, however, learn to use it to our own advantage.It's what successful people do and others don't. Do you use time wisely? Can you make time stand still? Do you have the gift?
