About this listen

 A LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST

"The feelings in this one are dialed up so high you almost can’t look at them directly: It would be like staring into the sun... Like Rosie Danan or Kate Clayborn, Barrett has a way of making palpable the full journey of a relationship" –New York Times

“Simply put, The Romance Recipe is a treat.” –USA TODAY

Amy Chambers: restaurant owner, micromanager, control freak.

Amy will do anything to revive her ailing restaurant, including hiring a former reality-show finalist with good connections and a lot to prove. But her hopes that Sophie’s skills and celebrity status would bring her restaurant back from the brink of failure are beginning to wane…

Sophie Brunet: grump in the kitchen/sunshine in the streets, took thirty years to figure out she was queer.

Sophie just wants to cook. She doesn’t want to constantly post on social media for her dead-in-the-water reality TV career, she doesn’t want to deal with Amy’s take-charge personality and she doesn’t want to think about what her attraction to her boss might mean…

Then, an opportunity: a new foodie TV show might provide the exposure they need. An uneasy truce is fine for starters, but making their dreams come true means making some personal and painful sacrifices and soon, there’s more than just the restaurant at stake.

I loved this so much!
Sapphic lit has been my light in the dark this year and Sophie and Amy are so precious to me ❤️🌈
I'm recommending this to anyone who will listen.

10/10

For some reason I am immediately more interested if the story plays in a restaurant setting and I am a sucker for a good queer awakening. Was Sophie maybe a bit too upfront right from the beginning for just discovering her Bi-side? Maybe but I honestly didn't care because you could just feel the sparks flying between Amy and her and it got hella spicy 🥵

Exactly what I needed in the moment
