Will Lambert is a Food Network rockstar, host of the popular barbecue show Meat Master. Everything is going great for him—except for his love life, which for years has featured empty-calorie one-night stands as the main ingredient. Pica Morales has no time for love because she’s a student at the world renown California Culinary Institute, determined to change the world with her vegan cooking after she graduates. But if she doesn’t win the big competition this weekend, that dream will go up in smoke. Two seeming total opposites meet over a shared love of exquisite food, then butt heads when their beliefs get in the way. What begins as a perfect appetizer of a relationship finds unexpected trouble at the entrée stage. Can they work out their differences and find their way to a scrumptious dessert before everything falls apart?
