When food writer Saffron Tate stumbles onto a bottle of "Tuscan" olive oil that tastes more like motor fluid than Mediterranean gold, her instincts flare—and so does her curiosity. But exposing fraud in the gourmet world isn't just a matter of sour notes and fake labels. As Saffy digs deeper into the shadowy empires behind the supermarket shelves, she uncovers a trail of shell companies, counterfeit farms, and one very polished villain with everything to lose.
Armed with a motorbike, a sharp tongue, and a loyal circle of misfits, Saffy sets out to unmask the truth—one bottle at a time. From the markets of Florence to shady warehouses in Spain, Pressed For Time is a cozy culinary mystery with a bite.
Smart, funny, and fuelled by righteous indignation, this is food writing with a side of danger—and just a twist of lime.
