The Duchess of Duke Street

In service since she was a girl, Louisa Leyton — despite her good looks — simply wants to be ""the best cook in England,"" and her determination is so striking that even one of her would-be gentleman-seducers murmurs, ""What a good idea."" On her way ...

Mais to culinary stardom, Louisa is deflowered by no less than Prince Edward himself, has a brief unconsummated marriage with a very boring butler, and eventually runs a London hotel where the food is superb and the management discreet. The hotel setting provides incidents of romantic misadventure among the moneyed clientele and enough gastronomic description to fill three issues of Gourmet magazine.
