Review of “Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish” by Bethany Turner

Publisher Description

Celebrity chef Maxwell Cavanagh is known for many things: his multiple Michelin stars, his top-rated Culinary Channel show To the Max, and most of all his horrible temper. Hadley Beckett, host of the Culinary Channel’s other top-rated show, At Home with Hadley, is beloved for her Southern charm and for making her viewers feel like family.When Max experiences a very public temper tantrum, he’s sent packing to get his life in order. When he returns, career in shambles, his only chance to get back on TV and in the public’s good graces is to work alongside Hadley.As these polar-opposite celeb chefs begin to peel away the layers of public persona and reputation, they will not only discover the key ingredients for getting along, but also learn the secret recipe for unexpected forgiveness . . . and maybe even love. In the meantime, hide the knives.Fan-favorite Bethany Turner serves up a heaping helping of humor and romance with this thoroughly modern story centered on cooking, enemies, and second chances

My Review:  

This book is so much fun!  There’s lots of talk about cooking, but you don’t have to be a “foodie” to enjoy the sparks that fly between the two renown chefs, Hadley Beckett and Max Cavanagh.  

Hadley is a delightful character.  She’s a Southern girl who loves to cook; takes good care of her feisty grandmother; has a great sense of humor; tries to live out her faith; and wants to show respect to everyone.  However, Max had made that almost impossible for Hadley as she had been the target of his sarcastic remarks and explosive temper.  However improbable it may seem to Hadley, she agreed to give Max another chance and work with him on another cooking show.  Their story is both surprising and sweet. This book had me smiling all the way through, and wishing I could sample some of Hadley’s fabulous recipes. I’ve read all of Bethany Turner’s books, and this one is now my new favorite.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
