The year is 1819, and renowned chef Owen Wedgwood has been kidnapped by the ruthless pirate Mad Hannah Mabbot ? who announces that he will be spared as long as he puts exquisite food in front of her every Sunday without fail. To appease the red-haired captain, Wedgwood gets cracking with the meager supplies on board. Soon he?s making tea-smoked eel and brewing pineapple-banana cider. But Mabbot ? who exerts a curious draw on the chef ? is under siege.
