Celebrity chef Maxwell Cavanagh 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.

Hadley Beckett's Next Dish by Bethany Turner is a great escape from reality. As a food lover and cook, I enjoyed the premise from this story. I loved watching the two main characters, Hadley and Max, grow and evolve from the two bickering costars they started as. Their characters gave me a Gordon Ramsey vs a Ree Drummond vibe. (Which might not be accurate because I've never actually watched anything by Ree Drummond but when I read this book I kind of just pictured her in my mind for Hadley.) Overall the whole story from start to finish was funny, heartwarming, and real. If you love watching the food network then Hadley Beckett's Next Dish is probably the book for you!
5 out of 5.
I received a copy of this book from Revell for my honest review.
