    Summary

    Chef AU in which Mary is an American chef in a French cooking competition. Ava is her sous chef. Lilith is also competing, with Beatrice as her sous, and sparks fly between the two teams.

    The title comes from this charming Harry Connick Jr. song of the same name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uij5s69iEjs

     

    A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
    Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too
    Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
    And that's the recipe for making love

    It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet
    It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat
    Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
    And that's the recipe for making love

    And if you've made it right you'll know it
    It's not like anything you've made before
    And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
    'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more

    I didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf
    I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf
    No, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself
    And that's the recipe for making love
