Hadley Beckett's Next Dish by Bethany Turner

Hadley Beckett's Next Dish, by Bethany Turner, is a delightfully fun novel to read. Two cooking-show hosts sparring with each other and themselves as they work through a competition and then a chef-focused television series. At first they count the days until they no longer need to see each other and then the walls begin to drop and they begin to somewhat get along. I liked the behind the scenes look at cooking shows, the explanation of dishes I've never heard of before, and the melting of hearts. This is a clean read and I appreciate that. 

About the book:

Months ago, hot-tempered celebrity chef Max Cavanagh publicly fell from grace, leaving southern belle celebrity chef Hadley Beckett at the center of the drama. Now forced to work together again, these polar opposites will either fall in love or burn down the kitchen.

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.
