Sadie on a Plate by Amanda Elliot and served with Potato and Zucchini
latke's and homemade applesauce.
I really enjoyed this one! It was listed as a rom com but I would argue that it isn't. It is a story of a cooking show that happens to have a little bit of romance.
Sadie is a chef in Seattle who has just been fired. Now she has a chance of going on a cooking show (Top chef type) and winning the prize money and opening her own restaurant. She cooks mainly modern Jewish cuisine. I loved the behind the scene's look at the cooking show. I enjoyed all of the other contestants. Especially another chef from Seattle who Sadie views at her toughest competition and who ends ups being super nice and a big fan of Sadie's. Now for the romance, on her flight to NY, she sits next to a chef, Luke. She assumes he will be in the competition but it turns out he is a judge. They have to hold back the romance until the competition is done so it takes a back seat.
I just loved all of the food ! She plan out each meal and my mouth was watering . This was a fast read and just what i needed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I ended up making potato and zucchini latke's in my waffle iron! I just shredded a zucchini and a potato, added bread crumbs, an egg and some seasoning. What i didn't do... and should have was drained the zucchini. It was watery. I put it in the waffle iron and I had lovely latke's! I had 3 apples so i peeled them and cooked them way down on the stove. Added some brown sugar, butter and a little bit of water. Turned out perfect!
