Lucie thinks she’s hit the jackpot when she comes across a notice offering a completely overpaid dog walking job. As it turns out, however, the dog is long dead and the notice just an excuse of a crazy old man on the hunt for a ghostwriter for his weird cookbook. Of course, Lucie doesn’t believe a word he says about the top-secret ingredients on his list, such as dragon hearts (which bear a strong resemblance to tomatoes) or werewolf spit (which looks suspiciously like honey). Nevertheless, she cooks up a recipe or two, the love potion, for example. Not that she’s really into Marvin, everyone else is after him anyway, but it’s worth a try.
