In 1819, kidnapped chef Owen Wedgwood transforms meager shipboard supplies into sumptuous meals at the behest of his kidnapper, pirate queen Mad Hannah Mabbot, while she pushes her exhausted crew to track down a deadly privateer.

It's 1819, and the renowned chef Owen Wedgwood has been kidnapped by the ruthless pirate Mad Hannah Mabbot -- who promises to spare his life as long as he puts exquisite food in front of her every Sunday. To appease the red-haired captain, Wedgwood gets cracking with the meager supplies on board. His first triumph as sea is actual bread, and soon he's making tea-smoked eel and brewing pineapple-banana cider. But Mabbot -- who exerts a curious draw on the chef -- is under siege.
