This is the emotional journey of Chilli Montgomery who is having the time of her life with her husband and son in their celebrated Brisbane restaurant. Just as she thinks life cannot get any more perfect, her world is turned upside down by a tragedy. Struggling to find her former self, with the help of her beloved Paris and her family, the seductive story leads to not only her regaining her passion for food, but to her finding the love of her life as well - But like life, it comes with a price.

Set against the backdrop of many beautiful Australian locations, on this gastronomic journey of indulgence, you will enjoy every mouthful of every meal with the Montgomery family and be touched by their tears and laughter, as Chilli finds second chances are filled with the most unexpected surprises.

A must read for anyone who enjoys food, good wine, travel, the love of a good man or two and family.
