COMING SOON

The knives are out in this delicious age-gap lesbian romance about sharing a kitchen with your maddening polar opposite.

For breezy new Broadway actress Piper Halliday, the only thing worse than being forced to play ingenues is being kicked to the curb when Covid hits. She’s prepared to take any role, no matter how embarrassing, to stay relevant.

Serious cooking legend and international foodie Helena Chatfield is licking her wounds after the cancellation of her latest TV show. Her last chance to save her career is to host “I’m a Millennial and I Don’t Know How to Cook”. Infuriatingly, she’s paired with Piper, an out-of-work young actress who can’t even chop an onion.

While the warring women try to put aside their differences for the show, their bubbling secrets threaten to boil over.

  • Helena guided her hand as the butter got softer, absorbing the sugar. They watched as if captivated by the process, though Helena was aware of how close her mouth was to Piper's neck. She remembered how inviting that neck had looked as Piper put her hair up that morning.

    SWEET, SPICY, DELICATE

  • "You're right, the texture is perfect," Piper looked into Helena's eyes. "I just want to devour this."

    Sweet, Spicy, Delicate

  • "Next time she comes to visit, serve her this. A person who can make beef bourguignon is doing well in the world. Everyone thinks that."
