A Place in the Sun

Could learning to cook be the key to learning to love again?

For Alexa, food has always been her solace. Her blog helped her escape her past, travelling alone to taste dishes from around the world. Her only love is the food she eats and she prefers her life this way.

For chef Franco, enjoying food lies in the community it can create. That's why his cooking school in Tuscany is at the heart of a community project which brings his students' food to the elderly locals.

When Alexa signs up to the school, she didn’t realise her questionable cooking would be served to other people, let alone the judgemental local Nonnas! Terrified of embarrassment, Alexa is tempted to turn back to her life of solitude . . .

But as the tight-knit community welcomes her and with Franco’s encouragement, Alexa lets go of her fears and begins to open up to the people around her, for the first time in a long time . . .
