The plot is fairly predictable but it is so well written and the characters are so well portrayed by Morrison that this is a very enjoyable read. The rivalry between Jake and Harry was interesting to read, although the affair between Harry and Georgia was one of the weakest things about the story in the way it was written and how it all came together. I loved the blossoming relationship between Kate and Jake, although it did become a tedious when Kate kept vowing to tell Jake the truth at all th...more
A perfectly good bit of chick-lit to amuse the reader, who is willing to overlook the fact that no undercover reporter, of what really is a small time country newspaper, would get this much time off to write a story about the inner workings of local restaurants and their possible cheating the diners with so called "home made" products. The characters are well built and one knows immediately who to like and who to hate. A nice book to while away an afternoon with lighthearted reading.
Typical chick lit. It was pretty obvious from about 1/4 of the way in what was going to happen in the end. Having said that it was an ideal book to read when I was tired before bed as I did not have to think very much.
The characters were on the whole likeable although the 'villain' was a little too obvious. It is a good read for when you are looking for something light but you probably won't even remember reading it in about 4 months.

One of the most enjoyable books I've read for a long time. A love story set in a new restaurant, owned by Jake a man who has had to struggle to get where he is, and who has a passion for food. He also has an enemy who is determined to bring Jake down and a staff of quirky and loveable people who put up with his biggest rants with "yes, Chef". If you like a good yarn, read it. If you like a good love story, read it. If you like stories about restaurants, read it. If you are a fan of Jill Mansell,...more

Completely mind numbing. The bad guy's bad. The good guy's good, then they fall in love at the end. If you want that kind of thing and not use your brain at all, go for it. Wasn't even funny. Disappointed.
This was a fun read - pretty predictable in terms of the plot line, but I liked that it was set in the restaurant world so I learnt something along the way.
one of my favorite books, never imagined the art of being a chef or a field journalist except when i read it !!
I Loved this book! It was so easy to like, it flowed really well and was just a fun read.
Fun, light hearted romance surrounded by food. What more could you ask for?
That was an easy fun chick lit!
I ended up loving Jake and Kate in this book though the first 200 pages seemed to drag on, it was good to see that good guys don't finish last!
This the best chick-lit book that I've read in a long time! Ahh jake...
I loved this book. Didn't want it to end.
This was a quick fun read
