Yes Chef!
Yes Chef! | Lisa Joy
2 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Sassy foodie Becca Stone is over her job taking reservations in one of London's most successful restaurant empires. So when she is unexpectedly catapulted into working as PA to celebrity chef, Damien Malone, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. Becca is quickly caught up in an exciting whirlwind of travel, reality TV and opening nights, and even her usually abysmal love life takes a turn for the better. But as Becca is slowly consumed by the chaos of life in the spotlight, she begins to lose touch with her friends, her heart and even with reality. Working with Damien has its challenges and she is soon struggling with his increasingly outrageous demands and sleazy advances, all while managing the ridiculous requests of his self-centered wife. It takes a disastrous trip to Italy for Becca to realize that she may have thrown away exactly what she's been looking for all along. Inspired by real-life adventures, this deliciously funny and romantic story reveals a tantalizing glimpse of the trendy restaurant scene: a world where chefs are treated like rock stars, and cooking isn't all that goes on in the kitchen.

#HeyJune #AHardDaysNight Poor Becca, she‘s working for the hottest chef in London, as his personal assistant who seems to think Becca‘s entire being is to cater to his every ridiculous whim 24/7. This was light and fun, a juicy summer read!

CoffeeAndABook Sounds fun 👏 👋🌸☕️ 6y
Cinfhen It really was a fun read @CoffeeAndABook it‘s a definite #BorrowNotBuy but perfect for the sunny days ahead 💛🧡 6y
CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen Yay 😁 just found a good deal to buy it as an ebook! I don‘t know anyone but my American mom who reads and lends English books here in Germany, so I rely mostly on the Oxfam second hand books English shelf which almost always has something surprisingly good in store for me. And ebooks!!! And once in a while I do buy a real new book in a bookstore as well 😉 6y

CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen I live in a fairly big city, Cologne, so we get well stocked English selections in big book stores & even original language movies in our cinemas. What‘s your experience where you live in Israel?? 6y
emilyhaldi Sounds like a chef's version of 6y
DebinHawaii This looks like a fun one! 🥄📚 6y
Cinfhen It‘s a #foodiefiction you might really enjoy 💋 6y
Cinfhen Great description @emilyhaldi 👌🏼 6y
Cinfhen @CoffeeAndABook The second hand/charity shops have TONS of used English books bc most pple in my city are immigrants from US, UK, South Africa, AU & Canada. The library has a lot too but they are pretty old. One bookstore has a GREAT selection of books but they are expensive. I rely on friends & Family to ship books and I always try to bring back books when I travel. I miss the amazing library system in the States!!! 6y
CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen I‘m so glad, it sounds like you‘re well taken care of book wise. You‘re so lucky 🍀 Except for the library situation... which is truly exceptional in the US! Which city do you live in? Obvs you don‘t have to tell if you‘d rather not. I‘m just always curious 😉 6y
Cinfhen In Israel I live in Ra‘Anana which is outside of TelAviv in the states I lived in the suburbs of Philadelphia xx @CoffeeAndABook I‘m happy to share and I‘m curious too.!! 6y
CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen thank you for telling me ☺️ I checked it out, you live so close to the Mediterranean, that‘s amazing!!! I‘ve never been to either Israel or Philly, both I‘d like to visit some day. My mom‘s family are out West, Colorado (where I‘ve also gone to school for a while) and Arizona 🌄🌵 I‘m planning on visiting them in October & am already excited!! Are you flying out to the States anytime soon? 6y

#ReadJanuary This was the first #foodiefiction that came to mind...according to my GoodReads, I read it back in July of 2014. It was fluffy and light, a perfect #palettecleanser 🍭🍦🍬

Michelle_mck I really enjoyed that one too! 7y
