A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking sounds awesome.

Fourteen-year-old Mona isn't like the wizards charged with defending the city. She can't control lightning or speak to water. Her familiar is a sourdough starter and her magic only works on bread. She has a comfortable life in her aunt's bakery making gingerbread men dance.

But Mona's life is turned upside down when she finds a dead body on the bakery floor. An assassin is stalking the streets of Mona's city, preying on magic folk, and it appears that Mona is his next target. And in an embattled city suddenly bereft of wizards, the assassin may be the least of Mona's worries...

What I like even better is the idea that the prince did not request Hallmark Guy Fieri, but his executive assistant misinterpreted his request and imported Hallmark Guy Fieri, and the Prince was about to be like CAST HIM INTO THE OUTER DARKNESS but then he tried his cooking and was like “Well he’s obnoxious but I guess he can stay, we’ve never had food that good at a royal banquet.” 

THEN you get to have the arc where the Prince slowly figures out that Hallmark Guy Fieri is a specific strain of himbo, where he’s loud and weird and unmannered but also respects everyone and is kind and shares food and promotes on ability rather than on ability to kiss ass. 

A ROYAL COOKOUT CHRISTMAS, coming to a Hallmark Channel near you, it’ll be the Bomb Dot Com.
