High school senior Emoni Santiago must make the difficult choices and carry out the necessary actions since she has a kid to look after and her grandmother to support. She finds that in the kitchen, where she infuses everything she makes with a little something magical that transforms her cuisine into pure goodness, she can let her duties go.
She is aware that she won't have enough time for the new culinary arts programme at her school, that she won't have the funds for the class's trip to Spain, and that she shouldn't still be daydreaming about working in a real kitchen. All the restrictions Emoni has for her life, and all the expectations placed on her by everyone, notwithstanding, her only true option—once she begins cooking—is to let her gift to take centre stage.
