Every February the bakery by the canal holds a tarte Tatin contest, and Sam's neighbour Mamie Paule, 86, has won it eleven times with the recipes in her red notebook: sixty years of cooking in her mother's handwriting and her own. Three days before the contest the notebook disappears. Léa and Sam, who can't cook, have three suspects: Paule's grandson Hugo, who wants her in a retirement home; her old rival Madame Lacroix, who smiles too much; and Sam himself, the last visitor. A short, adult novel for pre-intermediate learners of French (A2).
