In this book Neil loses his ability to cook and now he needs to uncover why. He finds out that it is a curse that someone put on his family after his family member named Piere goes against the law. Neil got rid of the curse by getting rid of the family member related to the man who originally placed the curse on the family. After that Neil could cook again. So Neil went back to work and to helping the police solve food related murders.
I really liked this book because of all the adventure in it. In the beginning I thought it was really hard to understand it wasn't even talking about Neil. It was talking about some one named Pierre, to me that didn't make any sense at all. Also it was kind of confusing how they kept talking about how Isabella got takin by who ever in the other book. Other silver birch readers from previous years would understand. I really thought it was kind of weird but funny how if you didn't know Larry then...more
Neil is trying to start a new restaurant but something has made his dishes taste terrible. All of the food critics send it back and Neil can't figure it out. Then there is the building across the street with the blue light. What confused me was the going back and forth between centuries of Flambe's only not all were Flambe's and not all were fifteen when they started having problems. One of my biggest concerns was..where in the world are Neil's parents and how did they not know he took off to Fr...more
I thought this book was okay. I found the whole story line was really boring and confusing because some chapters were set in present day and talking about Neil and other chapters were set back in the 1600's and talking about a guy named Pierre, I kinda liked the ending A little bit but otherwise this book was not my favourite.
Wow, just wow. This book was amazing. I was like "I don't want to stop reading, this is an awesome book." I gave it 5 out of 5 becasue it was just an amazing book. If you like the Neil Flambe Series or you really like alot of action in a book this is a good book for you. The one thing is that it is a little boring at the start of the book but it is really a ton of acti0on at the end.
This is a wonderful series for both young and old. It should be read in order as you need the background material from the book before to really get the book you are reading. Has a lot of history and cooking folklore, which is really interesting.
i thought Neil Flambe was a great book! It really was a type of book that you could not put it down. I had lots of fun reading this book and i would reccomend this book to many people! I thought it was really cool at the end.

I enjoyed this one the most of the three books in the series so far. It felt as though Neil learned a few things this time (and maybe some humility) and I'll be interested to see where it goes in book 4.
I really liked how different this book was than the other ones. I liked the journal entries. It is fun to see Neil challenged and mature from it.
His books always leave me feeling hungry for another book and some gourmet food.
the characters stayed the same the plot was a cliffhanger could not put it down
Awesome! I love the mix of wit, humour, history and mystery. Every single book so far in this series has been an enormous treat. I'm more than happy to continue collecting them and passing them around my circle of friends: both young and old!
Another great Neil Flambe mystery with twists and turns that are unexpected. Love this series!
A great third book.
The third Neil Flambé adventure continues on the same vein as the first two. Neil is in trouble, critics have returned his food and given him poor reviews. This time, the action switches back and forth to medieval times, and we learn bits of information about the Flambé ancestors which helps move our understanding of Neil's current predicament. A fun read!
This is a very good book i like how the he always has something to fix like salt then he got mad
I thought this book was pretty good though not my personal favourite and moved a little bit to fast for me. I liked how it changed from Neil's point of view to some one else's. I don't understand why so many people found the swiching so hard to understand and would appreciate it if some one could explain their thoughts to me.

I did NOT like this book really. To me, it was all over the place, its talking about Neil then about Nicholas and Pierre. That made it confusing to me. The curse was a thriller. It made the book abit more interesting, but i still did not like it.
A great addition to the Neil Flambe series. I don't know where the author gets his ideas or how much research he has to do, but in my opinion, he creates very complex stories that both young and older readers can enjoy!
