The Cook from Castamar

Spain, 1720. Clara Belmont, the daughter of a famous doctor, finds herself on the street after her father's death, and desperate job searches lead Clara to the Castamar castle, where she becomes the cook.

After the tragic death of his wife, Don Diego, the Duke of Castamar, lives in his luxurious estate surrounded by servants and closest friends. Soon, Clara realizes that the apparent calm in Castamar is merely the calm before the destructive storm, at the center of which will be the estate, its owner… and herself.

Forbidden love, exquisite food, court intrigues – Fernando H. Munoz has created an incredibly "tasty" novel where love, passion, and secrets intertwine against the backdrop of a flawlessly recreated 18th century Spain.
