At first, Laura appears to be everything that is missing from Ken’s life with Hilary - young, slim, attractive and a vibrant free spirit - but his little fling quickly becomes desperately out of hand.

Juggling the affections of two women, his world becomes a tangle of lies and deceit. After his initial denials to Hilary’s increasing suspicions, he is soon forced to confront the truth and leaves Hilary for Laura. Only one problem . . . Laura can’t cook.

Told through a series of flashbacks interspersed with the last supper The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband has been described as a highly entertaining and darkly comic exploration of jealousy, humiliation, deceit and betrayal which gives an entirely new meaning to the adage the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
