Synopsis

Maren Winter built the Winter Group into a culinary empire and made herself a legend doing it. Retirement is close, and her three daughters — Athena, Sloane, and Jules — each want the crown. Maren, terrified of becoming irrelevant, would rather set them against one another than hand it over.

On the night of the annual New Year's Eve party a line is crossed, and the humiliation travels through the culinary world faster than any of them can contain it. What follows is a slow disintegration: alliances, sabotage, and three women finally reckoning with what their mother's genius cost them.

Family Reservations is a restaurant-world family saga about power, loyalty, and the long work of escaping a parent's shadow.
