When celebrity chef Rachel Wu returns to her charming Vermont hometown to test recipes for her second cookbook, she expects quality time with her mother Evelyn.
But when a selectboard member orchestrates a pop-up dinner at the local bistro, renowned food critic Heather Bronson collapses at her table in the middle of Rachel’s signature dish tasting from a severe allergic reaction.
With Heather saying Rachel deliberately used peanuts despite knowing about her allergy, Rachel’s career is threatened. Her cookbook deal is suspended, legal action looms, and Silver Springs buzzes with suspicion.
But Evelyn Chan isn’t about to watch her daughter’s reputation crumble.
As she and Rachel dig deeper into the mystery, they uncover professional rivalries, past grudges, and hidden motives among the local restaurant owners—each with a reason to want Heather Bronson taken down.
Mother and daughter must work together to expose the truth before Rachel’s culinary dreams are destroyed forever.
