The story

Natasha "Nat" O'Brien is a celebrated pastry chef invited to London to assist in preparing a state dinner for Elizabeth II, organized by culinary critic Maximillian "Max" Vandeveer. Natasha's ex-husband, Robert "Robby" Ross, is a fast-food entrepreneur ("the Taco King") serving the "everyman" consumer while she caters to the affluent. Max is the "calamitously fat" grand gourmand publisher of a gourmet magazine Epicurious and is the patron of several famous European chefs, each renowned for a signature dish.
