Katy is thirty-six, has recently been dumped by her dull-yet-deceitful fiance and in a (not-unrelated) moment of madness, abandoned a Solid, Decently Paid Career to pursue her dream of becoming a chef. But, after a year of expensive cookery school and months in Michelin-star kitchens blow-drying edible ferns for free, she finds herself making sandwiches (heritage duck egg and black garlic mayonnaise on sourdough, admittedly, but sandwiches all the same) in a north London cafe and stuck in an ill-advised situationship with a twentysomething who thinks he's his generation's answer to Marco Pierre White. Then, a gorgeous doctor strolls in and orders an espresso. Katy is briefly charmed... until she sees the scruffy mutt at his feet. Katy hates dogs - and Dr Dipesh never goes anywhere without Alan. Can she overlook this major red flag? Will she ever convince her mother she's not having a midlife crisis? And, when a drunken mishap involving a restaurant critic turns Katy's life upside down, will she ever see Dip, Alan or the inside of a kitchen again?","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51015725842651,"sku":"9780008695309-RETAIL","price":28.04,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d0a3a483-bd0e-4e24-819d-282c6f6a15c7.jpg?v=1793612417","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780008695309-retail-the-underdog","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
