Description
Born into the servant class, Louisa Leyton rises from the scullery to become the best chef in Edwardian London and manager of the most elegant-- and discreet-- hotel in town. She learns the rules of society from powerful men captivated by her beauty, but she never sheds her Cockney accent or attitude. Based on the true story of Rosa Lewis, a cook who became the owner of the Cavendish Hotel and through her culinary skills, beauty, and connections, rose to the pinnacle of London society.
