Publisher's Synopsis
The year is 1819, and the renowned chef Owen Wedgwood has been kidnapped by the ruthless pirate Mad Hannah Mabbot. He will be spared, she tells him, as long as he puts exquisite food in front of her every Sunday without fail. To appease the red-haired captain, Wedgwood gets cracking with the meagre supplies on board. This is a swashbuckling epicure's advanture simmered over a surprisingly touching love story - with a dash of the strangest, most delightful cookbook never written.
