The Missing Master Chef

Legendary chef Ethan Cole is betrayed by Victor, the fellow apprentice he trusts most. The attack leaves both his hands badly injured and destroys his reputation and career. Henry, a small-restaurant owner, takes Ethan in and puts his restaurant up as collateral to pay for treatment. Nearly a year later, with the business on the verge of closing, Ethan returns to the stove to save his benefactor's restaurant—only to reveal to his enemy that he is still alive. Working with Henry's daughter, Claire, he fights to keep the doors open, reenters competitive cooking, and uncovers the truth behind the betrayal. In the end, he wins back his name and career and discovers a new reason to cook through gratitude and love.
