A modern twist on Romeo and Juliet set in the kitchen. Pedro and Lari are the latest generation in the bakery feud. When they refuse to work together in Math class they loose the extra credit points for their classmates. Lari tries to make it right and the teacher agrees to give the class extra points if she joins the cooking club. Lari is excited but nervous until she finds out Pedro is the club president. Now they have to lie to their families as they create new recipes together and try to save their family businesses. This is an emotional story however it is beautifully told. I enjoyed every moment.
