Recipe for Love
Cher's character was also unbelievable - the shallow, bitchy stigma was overdone to the point where it felt her superficial tendency was forced to portray her as being the ultimate bitch. And in the beginning, there was too much flitting between bitchy and weirdly nice Cher, and Zoe kept falling for it A very frustrating read - due to the repetitive rambles and frustrating characters - that dragged on a bit too long. The only enjoyable part was the cooking competition element, as the romance was just not romantic at all. Sorry for the negative review. Dec 20, Annika Lee rated it it was ok.
Such a disappointment that it was not as good as i thought it would be. The cover certainly looks more interesting than the story itself. Too many unrelated stories. The romance was just ok,not enough for someone who really love romance novel like me. It's not addictive which is the reason why it took me so long to finish the book.
I practically forced myself to read it to the end. Leuk tussendoortje, verstand op nul en genieten! Review originally posted at All Books Considered: This book is essentially a romance taking place between a contestant and a judge on a cooking reality show: It was fun with the reality show stress, the cooking, the setting the English countryside and the characters. The romance did seem a bit rushed and o Review originally posted at All Books Considered: The romance did seem a bit rushed and on warp speed.
Also, there were a few sub-plots that I thought were not necessary and were SO over the top but this was a fun and mindless sort of read for when you're in the mood for such a thing I am sometimes! If you're looking for other romance behind the scenes of a reality show, I loved Welcome to Paradise by Rosalind James. Zoe worked out that she'd have to make at least a hundred choux buns and after discussion with Fenella decided to fill them with flavored cream and stick them together with caramel.
She'd find some pink flowers or rose petals to finish the decoration. That sort of dramatic pudding might be just what she'd needed for the final challenge. Mar 16, Bookread2day rated it it was amazing. It always amazes me how an author can adapt something that they have seen on television in to a brilliant novel.
Zoe had no idea that he was a judge on the cooking competition television show.

I loved the opening of this novel I found it such an unusual scene where the two of the main characters meet. All the characters are so well crafted, you feel a connection with them all. The romance in this novel is so sweetly engaging it just draws you in. Katie is such a jolly skilful writer and makes you turn pages after pages.

The usual British chick-lit humor that is typical in Katie's books as well as lots of yummy food talk. Definitely a light "feel good" book as described on the cover. If you are looking for something in the genre and give it a try, you'll definitely walk away with warm fuzzies as well lots of giggles! Funny, warm and entirely captivating, I was won over by this beautiful story.
An enjoyable, feel good read. May 26, charlotte rated it did not like it Shelves: I was struggling to finish this book. I read it five years ago and absolutely loved it, so I wanted to reread it, but it was a huge disappointment. I found it boring and predictable, and after page I decided to just skim to the end. Lekker leuk en luchtig boek. Heb hem gelezen als Libelle Bookazine, en die dingen zijn enorm handig als je onderweg bent. Ik heb hem alleen wel in de tuin gelezen op een lekkere zonnige dag.
Zoe wants to open her dream shop, a very individual deli, with good, properly sourced foods and a range of ready to prepare and ready meals made from those same ingredients. This guy has got himself stuck in a ditch and it takes plenty of mud and sweat before they get his car out. He goes off and Somehow they keep getting thrown in each others orbit and of course romance blooms. The other contestants are a fun mix, but poor Zoe gets lumbered with the beautiful, arrogant and shallow Cher as a house mate.
There really are people like that, horrible though it is, and I love them in a story! The other contestants are a fun mix, and each have their own quirks and personalities that crop up in the story. I'd love to try making one of them — I'd be eting it all week though: That cake sounded amazing! What was it though? Or could there be more? Questions Zoe asks herself, would a man like Gideon really want more or should she just appreciate the moment and enjoy what they have now and not worry about where it may go. Its a fun light flirty type read rather than deep drama and introspections, and I really enjoyed reading about the characters and the quest for the winner.
Five, a perfect escapist read. ARC supplied by Netgalley and publisher Mar 02, Rea Cobb rated it really liked it. Plot Take one aspiring cook, one judge, and a spoonful of romance Not only has she got to contend with the fiercely competitive and downright devious Cher, but she's fast developing an inconvenient crush on one of the ju Plot Take one aspiring cook, one judge, and a spoonful of romance Katie is back again with her beautiful cosy writing style which instantly draws you into the story.
What I found different with this book compared to her previous books is that it had more of a modern feel to it and with this it brought different characters. Zoe was a very warm and caring character and would do anything to help other people even if it meant putting herself in risky situations. The storyline was something completely different to the authors previous books with the whole cooking competition which is what gives it a more modern feel but not to worry if any of you are like me and love the cosy country setting that Katie usually creates as there is still a good helping of this throughout the book.
So yet again our Queen of cosy chick-lit provides us with another must read. Sep 01, Grace rated it really liked it. This book was like chocolate… without the fear of it sitting on your hips!

Jun 08, Bron rated it really liked it Shelves: Another fantastically simple, yet engrossing read by Katie Fforde! I love the straight forward romantic plots, the Englishness of her books, and the unusually handcrafty type jobs all the leading women are given.
This story included all of those traits, and was the story of Zoe, who had entered a cooking competition with the aim to win, and open her own deli.

The story takes us behind the scenes at the cooking competition, where we meet Cher the very gorgeous and determined competitor, get a slight feeling of what it is like behind the scenes, and watch our selfless heroine run herself ragged in an attempt to help anyone that is in need.
In the process Zoe makes friends and enemies alike, including meeting the gorgeous judge Gideon. As with any good story, the plot takes on a few complications before happily ever after can happen. This book is a definite must when all you want is something very light to read! Mar 18, Maurynne Maxwell rated it really liked it Shelves: I agree it's not the best Katie Fforde, but it was pretty good. It's the first time I remember her doing repeating characters--sarah the wedding planner makes an appearance, and the cooking show is being filmed at Rupert and Fenella's.
Thought the ending was a little rushed. Maybe it's because I didn't want it to end, and the next Jill Mansell has been postponed a month. Temos todos os ingredientes para um grande romance. Jan 01, Selina Churchill rated it liked it. Very light and thin. Zoe was quite a flat character as were they all. Gideon seemed quite sweet - no clues as to what his other attractions may have been - but the plot was highly predictable. If I hadn't been researching chic lit I would not have finished this. Dec 26, Penelope rated it liked it Shelves: Not the best Katie Fforde but even middling Katie is entertaining.

Lauren Hennesey Danielle Panabaker has been critiquing food since she was a girl writing about her school cafeteria. He refuses to put his recipes in a cookbook and initially, the two of them clash. This is a functional Hallmark romance. They even have the Ghost scene. The two leads are photogenic. It has nothing special. It's not bigger than one expects and it follows the standard formula. The movie does need a bigger love competitor. That is the one failure in following the formula. Mostly, it won't excel beyond the countless other TV romances.
