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.

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.
Wasn't for me

I liked the narrator well enough but not enough to keep listening.

Okay, so I really tried to like this book. I really did. And there were a few times that I almost thought that I was going to like it. And then I just couldn't.
Here are some of the things that really bugged me:
- Poor grammar and word usage. This started early on when I heard the (non)word "supposingly" instead of "supposedly". There followed other instances that just grated. Sometimes I could write it off as a character that was supposed to be "intellectually challenged" or something, but not always.
- This is really just taste and preference, but I'm really not one for reality TV shows that only exist because of the can't-look-away drama they build in, so I guess it's no wonder that all of the overdone drama just made me roll my eyes, even though the point was to poke fun.
- The plot was really weak. I feel like 5 years ago and/or 5 years from now, this would be so culturally irrelevant that people would have a hard time getting it.
I felt like the narrator did a pretty good job with what she was given. The few times I was actually amused had more to do with her interpretation of a situation or a conversation than the words themselves.
Obviously, there may be people out there that love this book. It may be someone's favorite book. And maybe it might have even been more enjoyable had I been in a different mood. But just not my cup of tea.
Not For Me.

Combining a variety of plot twists with the tumult of Israel is a engaging approach to any Novel and works well in this story.
The Narrator has a unique Comedy style that fits this Audio Book well.
