Book 2. The Runaway Pastry Chef

The Runaway Pastry Chef is a novel by Louise Miller about love, a sense of home, and the search for yourself and your place in life.

Olivia Rawlings is a virtuoso chef whose work is highly regarded by restaurant critics. For her, a professional kitchen is a place of calm and balance: there is order, predictability, everything is familiar and always in its place. But when Olivia sets fire not only to the flamboyant dessert but also to the restaurant hall, she has no choice but to run away. After all, not only her job, but also a not-so-successful love affair has gone up in flames.... The kitchen smelling of cinnamon and fresh bread, the sounds of banjo and fiddle, picturesque views, the farmer's handsome son, new friends, and an apple pie contest - she is hooked on rural life. However, becoming part of Guthrie's community with its old and new secrets is not so easy. The girl will have to grow up and realise that if she doesn't run away from relationships, friendships, and problems, she will finally be able to live the life of her dreams.
