Hier moet sy saam met ’n diverse spannetjie verskeie krisisse die hoof bied, van ’n rioolstelsel wat oorloop tot rotte in die meel, om nie van die moeilike kliënte te praat nie. Die restauranteienaar is Greg, wat van Frankryk opdaag en vir Emma selfs meer gas gee. Sy verwerk die Kama Sutra in Afrikaans as “Afrikamasutra”. Vir hierdie werk ontvang sy die Hidding-Currie Toekenning vir akademiese uitnemendheid.
