A chef escapes her dying career in a dreary city to take a job at a decadent, mountaintop colony seemingly free of the world's troubles. There her enigmatic employer and his visionary daughter have built a lush new life for the global elite, one that reawakens the chef to the pleasures of taste, touch, and her own body. Soon she is pushed to the center of a startling attempt to reshape the world far beyond the plate. From the award-winning author of "How Much of These Hills is Gold".
