What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Food writer Ruhlman employs exacting verisimilitude to bring the heat of the kitchen and sensory details of the dishes to life in this vivacious debut.“—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“This human story is the book’s real strength, as is the care given to detailing the operations inside a restaurant kitchen, lending power and authenticity.”—Booklist
“A refreshingly different take on the romance genre, written from the male perspective, and a great purchase for all libraries.“—School Library Journal
“Ruhlman’s writing is at its best when Theo is in the kitchen. The hustle and passion that flow during service drop readers squarely in the middle of the action…The well-realized foodie elements are the highlight.“—Kirkus Reviews
