A Christmas Recipe for Romance – airing on Channel 5 on 30th November at 1.30pm

Based on Recipe for Redemption by Anna J. Stewart

Abby Manning has to take home first prize in an amateur cooking competition to save her town’s landmark inn—and long-time home for her ailing grandmother. Too bad the Butterfly Harbour innkeeper is a complete disaster in the kitchen. Undeterred, Abby asks her latest guest to teach her the basics.

A family tragedy and ensuing scandal derailed Jason Corwin’s high-profile career. But is the gifted celebrity chef going to let one mistake define the rest of his life? Add in a generous helping of mutual attraction and another burgeoning scandal, and it could be a recipe for star-crossed romance… or disaster, especially if a win for Abby costs Jason his professional future.

Music legend Zane Gunther came to the Montana town of Thunder Canyon to escape the paparazzi – and a tragedy he can’t forget.

But keeping a low profile seems next to impossible for this cowboy, especially once he falls – hard – for local girl Jeanette Williams…

This Christmas, Zane plans to legally adopt Jeanette’s daughter, Quinn, but complications arise in the form of the girl’s paternal grandfather coming back into the picture.
