Readers who hunger and thirst for juicy cooking show competitions will eagerly lap up every last drop of Amanda Elliot’s delicious romcom Sadie on a Plate.
Sadie Brooks Rosen--a saucy, 27-year-old, Seattle-based chef--has her up-and-coming career dismantled by her jealous boss and beau when local media highlights her menu dishes instead of his in a feature about his restaurant. Suddenly unemployed, with her confidence shaken, Sadie is selected to compete on Chef Supreme, a high-stakes reality TV show where chefs face-off to win big money and national recognition.
On a plane bound for NYC, where the show is set, Sadie meets handsome and charming, New York-based Luke Weston. Instant chemistry bonds the two as they share passions for food and cooking. Sadie is lured by upscale presentations of Jewish foods; Luke leans toward Korean influences. When they get to New York, they have dinner together and soon part ways. Until the next day, when they learn they are both affiliated with Chef Supreme: Sadie’s a contestant; Luke, a fill-in judge. Keeping their attraction secret, Sadie competes among talented chefs with distinct personalities, quirks and modi operandi. Can she regain her confidence and rise to the top of the cut-throat pack?
Under the name Amanda Panitch, Elliot writes thrillers and character-driven novels for young
adults and middle-grade readers. In Sadie
on a Plate, her first adult romcom,
detailed food descriptions, recipes and kitchen culture--along with a diverse
cast--spice up a well-plotted story warmed with romance, humor and heart.
