Lunchtime
Published by Diogenes as Der Mittagstisch
Original Title: Der Mittagstisch
Nelly just got rid of Matthew. But being a thirty-something single mum, she has to find a way to earn some extra money. Luckily, she has plenty of space and a talent for cooking, so Nelly invites paying guests over to her house for lunch. Among the few women are more interesting men: a captain, who has not been at sea in ages, a very tanned sports instructor, an insurance salesman and an equally handsome and smart electrician. Unfortunately, the latter does not turn up alone. The good thing is though, that his better half suffers from a nut allergy... Ingrid Noll cooks up something special, where she mingles with people as well as with ingredients.
