Lauren really, really needs a break. There’s just one problem: a bearded bohemian is squatting in her Highland cottage by the sea. He’s performing reiki on her plants and cluttering the fridge with strange ingredients. What on earth is aquafaba, anyway?

 

When her busybody granny turns up to crash her much-needed holiday, along with Lauren’s boyfriend Patrick - who really is perfect for her, by the way - things get even worse. 

 

As her life unravels, Lauren is forced to confront the ghosts lurking in her idyllic Scottish retreat. But with a skilled hand in the kitchen and a heartfelt recipe or two, she might discover that maybe - just maybe - chickpeas aren’t so bad after all.
