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!

Fun story but quite a number of editing errors - grammar what is terrible in several instances.

The story especially the content were very enjoyable. And all Jewish words were pronounced correctly.

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.

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.
