The year is 1944. In the depths of a dusty larder in the bombed ruins of an Exeter restaurant, Eloise finds a beautiful, golden whisk.

But when she clutches the shimmering relic, she unleashes an ancient curse.

The only way to free herself is to cook the tastiest dish in the world.

With time running out, Eloise scurries into the broken city’s underworld, undertaking extraordinary feats to gather the ingredients and discover the recipe. But with a rabble of greedy gangsters also chasing the whisk, will she succeed in evading its curse?

Served up with lashings...
