In the culinary world, Chef Jack Simmering was on the rise—his New York restaurant drawing rave reviews and a celebrity clientele. But when his estranged father dies, Jack reluctantly returns to his small hometown of Gusteau's Grove to settle affairs and sell the family's restaurant, The Simmering Pot. Jack plans a quick visit, but two unexpected developments complicate matters: he's suddenly able to see the ghost of Auguste Gusteau, the town's founder and legendary chef; and he's developing psychic abilities connected to food—sensing memories in ingredients, enhancing flavors with his intentions, and experiencing premonitions while cooking. As Jack renovates the restaurant and reconnects with his childhood friend PJ Monroe, he discovers Gusteau's Grove has always been special—culinary energy flows through the town via ley lines, creating food with extraordinary properties. For generations, the Simmering family has served as guardians of this culinary magic. Meanwhile, Howard Blackwell, CEO of Gourmet Developments, is buying properties throughout town and making aggressive offers for The Simmering Pot. When Jack refuses to sell, sabotage and threats follow. With help from local herbalist Hazel, attorney Rosemary, and even rival chef Anton Garlic, Jack uncovers Blackwell's true plan: to use the annual Harvest Moon Festival as cover for extracting the town's culinary energy, which would destroy what makes Gusteau's Grove special. As the festival approaches, Jack must fully embrace his heritage and master his developing abilities. The team creates a protection plan incorporating both traditional techniques and Jack's innovative cooking approach. But when Blackwell accelerates his timeline and activates his extraction device early, Jack realizes individual efforts aren't enough. The final ingredient to save Gusteau's Grove might be the one thing Jack never expected—the collective intention of the entire community, channeled through the food that has always connected them. But can Jack unite the town in time to stop the extraction before Gusteau's Grove loses its magic forever? Amateur Sleuths Cozy Culinary Mystery New York
