Description

Biddy Leigh's life is one of quiet observation and unassuming service. As an under-cook at Mawton Hall, she navigates the intricate social hierarchies with ease, often finding herself privy to conversations that others would rather keep hidden. When her master marries Lady Carinna, Biddy is swept up in a world of secrets and lies, forced to accompany her new mistress on a journey to Italy. There, she documents her culinary discoveries in an old household book, The Cook's Jewel, while becoming increasingly entangled in the mysteries of those around her. As Biddy navigates this complex web of relationships, she finds herself drawn into a sinister plot that threatens to upend her own life. With her secrets and discoveries at risk of being exposed, Biddy must use all her wits to uncover the truth and secure a better future for herself.
