From the back Cover:

Award-winning playwright, screenwriter and poet, Josefina Lopez is best known for her screenplay, Real Women Have Curves. Now Lopez makes her literary debut with a story that simmers with sensuality, wit, and searing emotional insight, as it transports you to the City of Light...

A journalist and activist, Canela believes passion is an essential ingredient to life, but lately it seems in short supply. It has disappeared from her relationship with her fiance and from her work, and has been absent from her family since her cousin Luna committed suicide.

Using the ticket meant for her honeymoon, Canela escapes to Paris, where she impulsively enrolls in the city's most prestigious culinary institute. There, still haunted by Luna's death, she will begin a wonderous journey against the backdrop of a storied city and amid the enticing aromas of purees, sauces and broths. Making some new and surprising friends, and letting haute cuisine reawaken her spiritual and sensual sides, Canela will discover just who she is and what she wants. And hopefully, once again savor the world around her.

Really enjoyed this book.
