The Perfect Meal James D Kirk

How a magical notion, born of driven focus, without the tempering of emotion will reveal those deserving a life of excellence and true love. 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 only 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 candidate 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 his 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?
