Sammy and the other residents of Sunny Cove are excited to find out that the Columbia County Cooking Competition is to be held right in their small town. It attracts people from all the surrounding counties and even further, so the quiet streets are about to be full of tourists. Helen is convinced that Sammy will win, but when she finds out the famous chef Collin Casey will be in the running as well, she isn’t so sure.

When her top competitor is suddenly eliminated, Sammy isn’t content to take home any more blue ribbons until she finds out exactly what happened!
