Cooking for the Culinary Challenged (ePub)

When Gloria Hobart decides to set up a local cooking class to fill in some spare time, little does she realise how much it will change the lives of her six new students. Friendships will be made and broken as they navigate marital problems, illness and loneliness. Yet each week they return to learn a new dish. Some will rise to the top of the class; others will struggle to boil water. Either way, each class is full of drama (and some hysterics) as they learn how to cook and about the people they're sharing a kitchen with.

Zoe Stevenson has been married for a year and the pressure is on. It seems people have certain expectations she doesn't agree with. She would never voluntarily go to a cooking class but when her husband gets her a gift certificate for the class for her birthday she reluctantly goes along.

Beth Gregory is in a rut. She's married to a pig and her daughter treats her like a doormat. The class is an opportunity for her and her teenage daughter Brooke to do something together. Dragged along, Brooke sulks. A lot. But is there something else going on?

Adam West has had a rough year. Living back home with his dad, Adam's only aim from the course is to learn how to cook anything other than a toasted sandwich. Of course, he might get far more than bargained for.

Charisse Montclair is a children's entertainer extraordinaire. Her parents live next door to the Gregory's and manages to invite herself along with Beth and Brooke. Is three really a crowd? And seriously, what's up with that Zoe chick?

Erica Matthews lives alone and works alone. She spends a lot of time alone. Realising this isn't enough; she decides it's time to make some proper friends. But how do you do that when you only regularly leave the house to stock up on milk and cat food? (Of course she has a cat). Join a class of course
