James D Kirk

Having his soul mate ripped away from him early in adulthood, a great chef spends his career in pursuit of culinary excellence. On his deathbed he realizes he’s lived half a life. His sheer determination empowers an antique food thermometer with the ability to help the right person pursue culinary perfection while being able to enjoy true love.

That power is bestowed upon a young man who seems worthy of the gift; someone who excels with food and is in love with a wonderful young woman. His character, as determined by upbringing and shaped by tragic events, proves he is only interested in the culinary side of the equation.

Will the powers of the mystical, antique gauge find their way to a worthy recipient? Is there someone who understands that love and passion can both exist in ones pursuit of a full life? Who will finally get invited to dine on The Perfect Meal?
