I liked the fairy tale style and the way the recipes were woven into the narrative. Unfortunately, the narrative itself wasn't very good. The main character falls in love with a man with zero good qualities and lusts after him for years because they're forbidden to marry. He treats both her and his wife so badly and they're both so into him. There are two interesting characters and they're both hardly in the book.
