He teases, she retaliates, and when he discovers her middle name, she enlists his sister s help.As they continue the most unconventional courtship, where neither will give way, sparks fly. It s amusing to watch, not so much to be part of it.Until the cookery contest.When they both enter, the competition takes second place to their one-upmanship. Or does it?
