All Stirred Up by Brianne Moore
4.0
This book was lighthearted and fun.
Synopsis: Susan Napier is set to save the dying line of her grandfather's renowned restaurants, Elliot's, by returning to her hometown set in Edinburgh. She quickly discovers that her ex, Chris Baker, a former chef who came up under her grandfather's tutelage is opening his own super trendy up and coming restaurant in the same down. Chris has just returned from American television fame and everyone has their eyes set on his new place. Susan must overcome her heartache, guilt for the way she ended the relationship, and the stress of rebuilding and rebranding a dying restaurant.
My thoughts:
I enjoyed this book very much. Moore wove a cute romance amidst the backdrop of the restaurant industry. Her insights into the kitchens and "chef-politics" was spot on and I really appreciated her raw revelations. I happen to love her explanation of baking. I know the book was based on Persuasion- and I have to admit it - I haven't read it- so I can't speak to that theme, but I enjoyed this book and thought it was lighthearted and fun and would recommend it to anyone who ever worked in the restaurant industry, relieves stress by baking, or likes a fun romance novel.
