The gardener (Nathaniel is his name) who feels sorry for her suggests his mum to teach her cooking.

Later she meets the gardener of their house who is the only person to realise that she can’t cook. Initially she struggles, but then she manages to order food from gourmet caterers to cover her back. The owners of the house presumes that she is a housekeeper and gives her a job, because Samantha tells them that she is trained at cordon bleu school (although she is clueless in cooking). She then all confused gets into the train and randomly arrives to a cottage house where she asks for the painkillers for her headache. I thought some stuff sounded a bit lame in the story! I will give you some examples… First it’s a story about a lawyer, named Samantha who makes a mistake that ruins her career completely. What I did not like about it? A lot of things to be honest. I did not find this book particularly smart or educating, but at least it was not too predictable so it did give me some enjoyment when reading it. What I like about it? The feel good factor, only because it was no-brainer to read it. My first thoughts about this book were “oh, so easy to read!”, then “the story line is a bit hard to believe” and finally “well, this could make a good chick-flick movie!”. It was a good opportunity to pick up my next book to read: “The Undomestic Goddess”. But what I preferred is sitting, relaxing, knitting and reading.

and just generally tidying the house after our big move. How she takes a deep breath, begins to cope, and finds love is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake.These couple of weeks has been all about waiting for our baby arrival and getting ready for him (yes, it’s a boy!)…. She can't sew on a button, bake a potato, or get the ironing board to open. Her employers have no idea they've hired a lawyer, and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she's mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as a housekeeper. Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train at Paddington station, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. A mistake so huge, it'll wreck any chance of a partnership. Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable: she's made a huge mistake. The Undomestic Goddess is Sophie Kinsella's second 'stand-alone' novel, published by Dial Press Trade Paperback in April 2006 (UK).
