Having burned all his bridges, volatile chef Easton West sells his name to a Shanghai conglomerate keen to exploit the last ounce of his wavering fame. But when he dumps a pig carcass on a critic’s lap and punches the restaurant owner’s son, the subsequent social media tsunami washes Easton ashore in the Adelaide Hills.
Arriving like a pariah to a dysfunctional family he abandoned 25 years previously, it’s only his outspoken 18-year-old pastry cook niece, Diana, who shows any interest. Easton realises that Diana represents everything he’s not – young, female and fresh – and takes her under his wing in an effort to crawl his way back to relevance.
But what price is Diana, on the cusp of becoming a prodigy, willing to pay to work with her infamously difficult uncle?
Darkly humorous, Aftertaste is set in the stunning Adelaide Hills wine region, and features a diverse cast of international characters reflecting the international relevance and appeal of ‘foodie culture’.
