Publisher's summary

A James Beard Award-winning chef stands atop a 50-foot-high diving platform having just plated a competition-winning culinary masterpiece. He looks down, faints from fear of heights, and careens into the water below. Worst of all? He knocks over his dish on the way down.

So begins The Two-Plate Solution, and it only gets better from there. Follow a diverse cast of young talented chefs as they compete in a high-stakes TV cooking competition set in Israel. Their culinary foes: fake “terrorists” brought in by the producers - that is, until some actual terrorists show up on set, and the producers must scramble to either integrate them into the show or risk death.

Mysteries deepen, romances bloom, and chefs cook for their lives in this laugh-out-loud culinary adventure from Jeff Oliver, a major force in TV cooking shows the past 15 years. His talented pen will have you caring about each character...and wondering how the many unforeseeable story twists will turn out.

Wasn't for me

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Sadly, I just couldn't get through this book. It started out ok but kind of petered into a slow, plodding story. The narration was decent, but that just wasn't enough to keep my interest. The synopsis says it is supposed to be funny, but I either didn't get the joke or didn't find it funny. Ultimately, I ended up turning this one off because I was bored.

Unusual and unique

Unusual and unique but ultimately the book fell flat for me. There wasn't enough character development or enough of a compelling story line to keep me engaged past the first one third of the book. And unfortunately the narrator wasn't able to carry the story on her own, despite a strong effort on her part.
