So You Think You're A Celebrity... Chef?

Mix together…

A tough-cookie media agent who's clawed her way to the top, and a con-man who wants to open a cookery school.
Add in a washed-up celebrity chef whose career needs re-building…

Flavour with…

An aging rock star fresh from rehab, and a Sloane Ranger food writer who gets her own TV show…

Bring to the boil:

At a Gourmet Food Festival, in Ireland, where anything goes!

When media agent Hilary Hargreaves travels to Ireland to look at a campaign for a new cookery school, she meets a blast from her past - the romantic but feckless chef Mickey Lloyd, who is hell-bent on resurrecting his flagging career. Her tough demeanour is rocked as it becomes apparent Mickey's intentions involve more than a stint behind a stove in his quest to pursue her. But as plans for the school gain momentum, she realises that she's developing more than a passing interest in reformed alcoholic Long Tom Hendry, who owns the crumbling old mansion where the school will be homed. Hilary has many ingredients to juggle with her demanding client list - which looks set to boil over if she doesn't keep control. From London's bustling Soho, to Southern Ireland and the sunny shores of the Caribbean, has Hilary got too much on her plate and is she really prepared to risk it all for love?

About the Author 


 Caroline James was born in Cheshire and wanted to be a writer from an early age. She trained, however, in the catering trade and worked and travelled both at home and abroad. 

Caroline has dealt with many celebrity chefs first-hand, all of which makes her novel, 'So, You Think You're A Celebrity… Chef? accurate and wickedly funny. Having a second book selling so well after her debut novel, Coffee, Tea The Gypsy & Me, got to No.3 in the Amazon charts, lauded by national newspapers and literary critics alike, is certainly not bad going for someone who 'hated school.' Caroline has owned and run many related businesses and cookery is a passion alongside her writing, combining the two with her love of the hospitality industry and romantic fiction.

The annual gypsy horse fair in Appleby, Cumbria and a life-long admiration for Romanies was the inspiration behind Caroline's first novel, Coffee, Tea, The Gypsy & Me which shot to #3 in women's fiction on Amazon UK, on publication, and was E-book of the Week in The Sun newspaper.



When she's not running her hospitality business and writing, Caroline can generally be found with her nose in a book and her hand in a box of chocolates. She also likes to climb mountains and contemplate life. She writes fun, romantic fiction and is a member of the RNA and The Society of Authors. Caroline is a feature editor for a lifestyle magazine column and has had numerous short stories published.

Her next book, Coffee, tea, The Chef & Me will be published autumn 2014.

So You Think You're A Celebrity…Chef? is published by Thornberry Publishing, available on Amazon and in all good book shops.
