      I was shocked to learn Paul Ritter had gone to his reward, at the age of 54. I’d assumed he’d be around for decades more. Everyone enjoyed him as the father in Friday Night Dinner (‘A lovely bit of squirrel, Jackie’), and personally I appreciated him

      He should have practiced under studio lights before the actual competition. Then Connell would have accounted for the heat of the big television spots. It over-softened butter. It slowed the cooling rate of the hundreds of pieces of gingerbread cookie he had to bake, causing several of them to overcook just from residual heat. It even increased set times for the royal icing that he was counting on to glue his walls and roof together.

      The heat also made him sweat on national television. He wasn’t going to be one of those guys who sweat into his food during a cooking show and grossed out the television audience.

      Instead he tied a dishtowel across his forehead like a white boy playing kitchen samurai. How was this look supposed to get him his slot on national TV? Unless he made it a thing. So, he would try making it a thing when the interviewer came around the next time and hope that it worked.

      Paul Stark was Mr. Genial Host. Tall, blondly handsome, and a notorious playboy, he was also half-owner of the most successful cooking television network out there. Connell wanted a piece of that. Maybe he should dye his carrot-red hair to match Paul’s. Though he wasn’t the one Connell had to impress, but rather his twin sister Kate Stark. She was the real force behind the network’s success.

      Here he came, working down the line. Geoffrey, Oliver, himself, and then the delectable Juliana—the showgirl piece of the grand finale. She hadn’t gotten in just for looking hot, he had to keep reminding himself. She was an artist in the kitchen, fast and meticulous. The only real threat to his win.

      A cute little Asian chick trotted along behind Stark with a closeup camera. Would he get one, too? A tiny, tight-bodied servant of his own? Easy money said Paul got himself a piece of that.

      I like the look, Paul picked up another kitchen towel, hot pink instead of plain white like Connell’s, and tried wrapping it around his own forehead before turning to
