 After a thirteen-year relationship ends, food journalist Candice Chung find herself losing both her first love and her favourite dining partner. So when her retired Cantonese parents volunteer as her new plus-ones, she must decide whether to keep the peace – or finally confront the distance that’s grown between them.


As a new romance stirs and old wounds heal, Candice begins to learn that some truths can’t be spoken – only tasted . . .


This is a deliciously nourishing story of food, family and finding new love.
