March 9 2009

A journalist and activist, Canela believes passion is essential to life; but lately passion seems to be in short supply. It has disappeared from her relationship with her fiance, who is more interested in controlling her than encouraging her. Its absent from her work, where censorship and politics keep important stories from being published. And while her family is full of outspoken individuals, the only one Canela can truly call passionate is her cousin and best friend Luna, who just took her own life.

Canela cant recover from Lunas death. She is haunted by her ghost and feels acute pain for the dreams that went unrealized. Canela breaks off her engagement and uses her now unnecessary honeymoon ticket, to escape to Paris. Impulsively, she sublets a small apartment and enrolls at Le Coq Rouge, Pariss most prestigious culinary institute.

Cooking school is a sensual and spiritual reawakening that brings back Canelas hunger for life. With a series of new friends and lovers, she learns to once again savor the world around her. Finally able to cope with Lunas death, Canela returns home to her family, and to the kind of life she thought she had lost forever.
