In this episode, I take you inside my debut suspense novel, The Chef’s Kiss: A Recipe for Malice, a Seraphina Story.

When celebrated chef Seraphina retreats into solitude, she never expects to be pulled back into the fire — a rival restaurant hiding dangerous secrets, a mysterious death in the walk-in freezer, and the faint, unmistakable scent of bitter almonds that whispers of poison.

More than a murder mystery, The Chef’s Kiss is an investigative journey through intuition, obsession, and the hidden poisons beneath perfection. Think gothic noir meets culinary suspense, where every flavor has meaning and every lie leaves a trace.

Join me as I share the story, the inspiration, and the process of bringing Seraphina’s world to life — a world where the kitchen isn’t just a place of creation but also a crucible of destruction.

If you love atmospheric mysteries, psychological thrillers, or stories with strong female investigators, this one’s for you.
