The next two evenings were spent eating the most delicious food as Jason and Simone excelled themselves with crepes filled with bacon and mushrooms followed by chicken served in a champagne and white grape sauce and homemade ice cream with Florentines to finish. Paul and Magalie attempted to triumph with smoked salmon and prawn tartlets to start and leg of lamb stuffed with apricots and prunes. They finished their rich dinner with a simple but delicious lemon cheesecake topped with a fresh raspberry coulis.

Amy was so thrilled with their achievements that she vowed that Patrick no longer needed to teach them cookery if he didn’t want to, though that brought howls of disappointment from around the table. Patrick’s pastry alone was enough to keep him coming back and the men deliberately refused to perfect their own methods of making it. However, they had taken to cooking with so much enthusiasm they were already deciding to make the competition a monthly event.

Paul had to remind them that they would all be going home soon and that any new guests might not feel the same way, though Gemma secretly thought that most of the guys would love it. They all liked food too much to not want to try and their competitive spirit wouldn’t let them be beaten without at least attempting the challenge.

She spent her free time with Aaron looking through cookery books and occasionally practicing recipes when time allowed, but she found it hard to concentrate while he was so close to her. Every time she looked towards him it seemed that their gazes clashed; when she attempted to turn a page of the book her fingertips brushed his as they both had the same intention; when they decided to taste their concoctions, each was already bringing a sample to the others’ lips as though they were a reflection of one another.

Gemma had even begun dreaming about him so often that she sometimes wasn’t sure if it were day or night.

They spent the morning of their cooking challenge walking along the busy town market, buying fresh ingredients and making sure that all were from local sources. Aaron suggested a quiet lunch in one of the many restaurants and they sat for an hour drinking in the atmosphere while sharing a plate of fresh oysters before returning to the château to make preparations for the evening.

They had decided on their own version of a seafood bisque served with Patrick’s recipe for homemade bread, to start; pork tenderloin roasted on a bed of caramelized pink onions and sweet apples served with steamed vegetables and wedged potatoes for the main course, and to finish, a secret recipe for a chocolate dessert that Gemma had to make three times before Aaron would leave enough in the bowl for them to serve at the table.
