Taste of Mexico - Dianne Harman - Bog

An inedible entrée in a Michelin Mexican restaurant that could have been lethal.
Was it just human error or a deliberate attempt to injure the restaurant reviewer? When Dani is asked to be interviewed for a catering gig in Newport Beach, she plans to stay with an old friend of hers from the Cordon Bleu Cooking School in Paris. What she doesn't plan on doing is becoming involved in helping her friend, Stephanie, find out if the wickedly overseasoned dish she was served at Taste of Mexico was designed to hurt her or was simply an innocent miscalculation of ingredients. After Stephanie's blistering magazine review hits the newsstands, her reputation is at stake, because everyone who reads the review disagrees with her. They all love the food at Taste of Mexico. The owner of the magazine she writes for is furious with her, and the restaurant owner is threatening to pull all of his advertising from the magazine. Fortunately, Stephanie's next-door neighbor is an easy-on-the-eyes private detective who is more than willing to help out. He's sure Stephanie was targeted and he and Dani work together to save Stephanie's reputation and her job! This is the 13th book in the Chef Dani Rosetti Cozy Mystery Series by a two-time USA Today Bestselling Author.
