When Elle Bissett agrees to go on a televised cooking competition, she's expecting to get some television face time, not go head-to-head with Ashley Castle, an acting rival from her youth. But if she can keep her focus on her recipes instead of those beautiful blue eyes and let her cooking do the talking, she should have no problem earning the title of Celebrity Cook Off Champion. For Ashley Castle, appearing on the Eats! Channel's cooking competition show is a surefire way to earn the homemaker cred she desperately needs--at least according to her agent. The fanbase of her own reality show, Queen of the Castle, has been waning steadily since her divorce. The only problem is, she doesn't know how to cook. If only she could get the sexy brunette with the mad kitchen skills to give her a tip or two, she might stand a chance. What's a few swapped recipes between former child stars? Take one celebrity cooking competition, mix in the desperate need to revive a career and a teen rivalry from the past, add a handful of clandestine cooking lessons and a pinch of romance. What you get is An Acquired Taste .
