In this savoury and sweet sapphic YA Romance graphic novel, a klutzy high schooler strives to learn her grandma's recipes and ends up falling for a no-nonsense classmate whose family owns a restaurant.

What does cooking have in common with falling in love? They're both matters of chemistry!

It's Sofia's last year in high school. All her friends are getting ready to go to faraway colleges, but she doesn't know if that path is right for her. What Sofia does understand is that, ever since her grandma died, her mum has been distant. But maybe, if Sofia can learn how to make one of grandma's most cherished recipes, she and her mum's relationship can go back to the way it used to be. The only problem with that idea? Sofia is terrible at cooking.

Enter Anna Marie, Sofia's super cute classmate who's everything Sofia isn't—driven, disciplined, and a gifted chef. Despite getting on each other's nerves, Anna Marie starts teaching Sofia how to cook in exchange for her help around Anna Marie's family's restaurant. And soon enough, they discover that the sparks between them are more than just stovetop flames.

But can love blossom when Sofia's and Anna Marie's lives are changing so much? Or will the impending pressures that come with graduation break them apart?
