Hadley Beckett's Next Dish: A Novel

Written by Bethany Turner

Narrated by Aimee Lilly

Celebrity chef Maxwell Cavanaugh 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.

Reviews for Hadley Beckett's Next Dish

[Mindy Farmer · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Meh. Hadley is a Southern lady who lets people steamroll her and has a whole #notallmen speech. Plus, the narrator's southern accent is grating.

I enjoyed this story. I listened to the audio version. While it was read well, my one issue was that all I could see in my mind was Paula Dean. The audiobook reader sounded like an older woman and used that fake southern accent. (I'm from Tennessee. I know a Southern accent.) Since the story is written partly in first person, I couldn't get the idea of Paula Dean being the main character out of my mind. My suggestion is to read the book instead of listening to it.
