A chef’s journey to success leads to discovering the perfect recipe for love in this delicious romantic comedy.

Sadie is a rising star in the trendy Seattle restaurant scene. Her dream is to create unique, modern, and mouthwatering takes on traditional Jewish recipes. But after a public breakup with her boss, a famous chef, she is sure her career is over—until she lands a coveted spot on the next season of her favorite TV show, Chef Supreme.

On the plane to New York, Sadie has sizzling chemistry with her seatmate, Luke, but tells him that she won't be able to contact him for the next six weeks. They prolong their time together with a spontaneous, magical dinner before parting ways. Or so she thinks. When she turns up to set the next day, she makes a shocking discovery about who Luke is....

If Sadie wants to save her career by winning Chef Supreme, she’s going to have to ignore the simmering heat between Luke and her. But how long can she do that before the pot boils over?

“Sadie on a Plate reads like the ultimate cooking show comfort-watch—with the added spice of a forbidden romance. A delicious love story and heartfelt ode to Jewish cuisine.”—Rachel Lynn Solomon, national bestselling author of The Ex Talk

Amidst all the inventive dishes and luscious food descriptions, Sadie on a Plate mixes the drama of a culinary competition, a slow-burn forbidden romance, and a salty-sweet cast of characters into the perfect bookish bite.”—Amy E. Reichert, author of The Kindred Spirits Supper Club

Cute but

I thought this book was a cute story, but I could not get over the fact that the narrator couldn’t pronounce Halmoni (Korean for grandma)and half of the food related words correctly.

Very cute and entertaining story

Enjoyable, engrossing story. I don’t watch cooking competitions, but I enjoyed this version of a competition and the relationships among the competitors and judges. The romance is a very secondary, though lovely, element.

I really enjoyed this book! It made me hungry!

I liked the story line and the inside view of a reality cooking show. It made me realize I don't venture out in trying different cuisines. Cute romance also!

Delicious

Well-drawn characters and a fun story to listen to. Yes, you could see some of the plot development coming. But that in no way diminished my enjoyment of the story (and all the descriptions of the delectable food contained in it). Will be looking to see what else the author has done.

This is a “light” listening, book but too sexual for YA.

Too many characters to keep track of if you are listening to the book. Some characters, were well described physically, but multiple times (examples: Bald Joe, Luke, Kel and each of the Judges).
Not a well develop story about foods from the Diaspora. Very limited “Jewish foods” and none that a home chef would want to attempt.
