Fast Food

Here's a sample of John Cook's eBook,
In the Heat of the Kitchen

The orders were coming in to the grill section thick and fast. It seemed that the whole population of Castlebar was under the 'Bronze Arches' that night. Sally was glowing with the heat, and her uniform shirt, which was straining under the force exerted by her generous cleavage, was beginning to become transluscent with moisture. "What are you doing after work?" asked Roger.
"I hadn't made any plans, but I'd love to get away from this town for a little while" Sally replied. "Do you fancy a drive out to the countryside?"
Sally started to gather the ingredients to mix another large container of McPherson's Special Burger Sauce. The tub of tomato sauce was easy to open and scoop out, and the mild mustard easy to squeezed into the container without a hitch. A tablespoon of lemon juice, a dash of Tabasco and a good sprinkling of salt and pepper completed the base flavours. On lifting the bucket of mayonnaise down from the shelf above, she discovered, too late, that someone hadn't closed the lid properly. An oily blob of the contents of the bucket slid down the front of her shirt.
"Oh no!" she exclaimed, "only 20 minutes to go before clocking out, and I'll have to go and wash and change. Someone else will have to make the sauce now. I don't suppose you'd like to take your break now, and come and help me, Roger!" she teased.

And now a sample of Paul Waits'
new eBook, Last Tango in Brazil

Enrique and Isabelle gazed into each other's eyes over the glowing beeswax candles. Their table was exquisitely dressed with crisp white linen, and heavy silver cutlery, highly polished and perfectly positioned around the fine bone china. The Irish Crystal goblets just captured the ruby glow of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon the vineyards of Chili had to offer.
The couple had done justice to the rare Chateau Briande, and there were only a few scraps left on the platter between them. Isabelle had particularly enjoyed the Duchesse Potatoes with a hint of garlic. 'Good thing Enrique likes garlic, too,' she thought to herself, 'it won't get between us when we're having "dessert" later!'
They knew that their waiter, dressed in a long starched white apron and black tie, was watching them discreetly, but were sure it was only so he could immediately give them anything at all they required. Isabelle wondered if the darkly handsome Enrique would ever ask her the question she longed to hear, and Enrique wondered how he could ever have found a woman so beautiful and voluptuous.
"Shall we go back to my penthouse after supper?" enquired Isabelle. "I have a box of your favourite cigars, and a bottle of Courvoissier. I told Evita to light a log fire and fluff up the bearskin rug for us. I know how you like to feel the soft fur on your body."
"Oh, I thought we might go to the cafe bar for a little while first, 'cara mia'. It's been such a long time since we danced together, and Carlos Mendoza and his Band are playing tonight. They're fantastic to Tango to!" Enrique stroked Isabella's hand as he made his request. He knew his friends from the old neighbourhood would be there, and he wanted to show off his new acquisition.

Jemma Starr in this excerpt from
The (P)leisure Centre

Janet couldn't wait to start her new job as Chef du Partie in the Hotel's brand new Leisure Centre. The staff were allowed to come into work early so that they could try out all the facilities. The management were very progressive in the Great Southern Hotel Group, and knew that staff would give the best customer service if they had good product knowledge and were happy in their jobs.
As Janet sat in the state-of-the art steamroom, she daydreamed about the Special of the Day in the Centre's Restaurant. It was her job to devise tasty low fat recipes for luxurious desserts. It was a tall order, but she was enjoying the challenge.
Today's Special Dessert was going to have a soft Pavlova base topped with Creme Fraiche whipped with a little Philadelphia Light cream cheese. This would be topped with fresh strawberries and raspberries which had been sprinkled with a mixture of golden caster sugar, cinnamon and freshly ground nutmeg. A fruit coulis moat would surround the concoction, and it would be topped with toasted slivered almonds and dusted with icing sugar.
Janet was so deep in thought that she barely noticed Adam, the tall, blond swimming and aerobics instructor entering the steamroom. Adam, however, had noticed Janet before, and admired her toned physique and long legs. He especially liked her sun-streaked long blond hair and clear blue eyes. Janet's dark turquoise bikini compemented her colouring, and the sheen from her tanned body was very attractive this morning.
