Hay muchas razones para hornear: alimentar; crear; impresionar; para nutrir; definirnos; y, a veces, hay que decirlo, para perfeccionar. Pero a menudo nos horneamos para llenar un hambre que sería mejor llenado por un simple gesto de un ser querido. Horneamos a amar y ser amado. En 1966, Kathleen Eaden, escritora de libros de cocina y de la esposa de un magnate de los supermercados, publicó El arte de hornear, su guía para alimentar una familia mediante la creación de los pasteles más exquisitos, galletas y pasteles. Ahora, cinco panaderos aficionados compiten para convertirse en el nuevo Sra Eaden. Hay Jenny, frente a un nido vacío ahora que su familia ha volado; Claire, que ha sacrificado sus sueños para su hija; Mike, tratando de padre de sus dos hijos después de la muerte de su esposa; Vicki, que ha dejado todo para estar en casa con su bebé; y Karen, Karen perfecto, que sabe lo que es no tener nada y se determina su fachada no debe deslizarse. Como alianzas improbables se forjan y los secretos salen a la superficie, por lo que la pastelería más selectos parece el menor de los problemas de los concursantes. Para ellos aprenderán - como cuando la señora Eaden hizo antes de ellos - que mientras que la perfección es posible en la cocina, que es mucho más difícil en la vida.
"There are many reasons to bake: to feed; to create; to impress; to nourish; to define ourselves; and, sometimes, it has to be said, to perfect. But often we bake to fill a hunger that would be better filled by a simple gesture from a dear one. We bake to love and be loved. In 1966, Kathleen Eaden, cookbook writer and wife of a supermarket magnate, published The Art of Baking, her guide to nurturing a family by creating the most exquisite pastries, biscuits and cakes. Now, five amateur bakers are competing to become the New Mrs. Eaden. There's Jenny, facing an empty nest now that her family has flown; Claire, who has sacrificed her dreams for her daughter; Mike, trying to parent his two kids after his wife's death; Vicki, who has dropped everything to be at home with her baby boy; and Karen, perfect Karen, who knows what it's like to have nothing and is determined her facade shouldn't slip. As unlikely alliances are forged and secrets rise to the surface, making the choicest pastry seems the least of the contestants' problems. For they will learn--as as Mrs. Eaden did before them--that while perfection is possible in the kitchen, it's very much harder in life"--
