In fact, it's her job to cater other peoples' dates, and that's just fine by her. At thirty-seven, she has her own business, working as a private chef, and her life feels full and secure. She's got six steady clients that keep her hands full.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's Lex, the fussy but fabulous department store owner who loves Oysters Rockefeller and retro party food; Willa, who needs to lose weight under doctor's orders but still believes butter makes everything better; a colorful family who may or may not be part of the Russian mob; an uberwealthy Georgetown family; the picture-perfect Van Houghtens, whose matriarch is \"allergic to everything\"; and finally, a man she calls \"Mr. Tuesday,\" whom she has never met but to whom she feels a magnetic attraction, in part, due to his taste for full-on comfort food. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Gemma, cooking is predictable. Recipes are certain. Use good ingredients, follow the directions, and you are assured success. Life, on the other hand, is full of variables.
