Flavour Thieves

When the cheese vanishes, so does the truth.Saffron Tate, sharp-tongued food writer and part-time motorbike menace, is invited to write a glowing piece on Hollowstone Farm—a traditional dairy clinging to its cheesemaking heritage in the village of Cheddar.

As Saffy sniffs out clues in local pubs, national food expos, and increasingly exclusive tasting rooms, she uncovers a world of counterfeit flavours, luxury food fraud, and an underground network that's curating taste itself.With a sarcastic grin, a backpack full of notebooks, and a cheese knife that's seen more action than her dating life, Saffy must follow the crumbs—from sleepy Somerset to London food launches—before the culprits cover their tracks.
