Sadie is a talented chef who, after hitting a snag in her career, is offered a spot as a contestant on one of her favorite cooking shows. Wanting to reinvigorate her career, Sadie hops on the plane to NYC to join this competition. On the flight there, she meets Luke, and the chemistry is instant! Sadie wasn't expecting to run into him the next day on set of Chef Supreme! Can they keep their connection a secret for the good of her career and the show?
Sadie is a very relatable character who is passionate about putting a new twist on traditional Jewish cuisine. There is a really fun cast of side characters as well! Nia, Kel, Kaitlyn, and the Joes make for a really fun dynamic when personalities collide.
Although this is a romcom, I would not say it was very romance-centric. This story definitely centered more around Sadie and her journey to finding her courage to put herself back out there while competing on this cooking show. The romance between her and Luke does feel more like a subplot. (I would have liked more Luke time) This would be a great story for anyone who might be looking to try out the romance genre. And if you love competition cooking shows - this is a fantastic representation of the chaos that goes down behind the scenes!
