The Saturday Night Supper Club

Rachel is at the pinnacle of her career as the executive chef of a rather exclusive restaurant in Denver.  When a tabloid takes something that she said totally out of context and blasts it all over town, she loses what she's worked so hard for.  And now she is without a place to cook.  Alex Kanin is an essayist/author who publishes an article that goes viral and totally trashes Rachel's reputation.  Alex asks Rachel's friends, Ana and Melody, where he can meet up with her to apologize. They do tell him where they know she'll be on a certain night.  He shows up and tells her he'll do anything to make it right. Through a few conversations, Alex agrees to set up a few meetings with some of his friends who could be likely investors in a new restaurant.  And then the Saturday Night Supper Club begins.

I've read a couple of Carla Laureano books before and they are always excellent.  She weaves together a story that grips her readers from the first page to the last.  She has a deft hand a pen to create such engaging stories. The only criticism I really have for this book is that Carla didn't include recipes that Rachel cooked in the book. However given my cooking abilities, it's not that big of a loss. Maybe I just want a real Rachel to come and cook for me.  Right now I have soup on the stove that involved opening three cans and three packages. 

This is a five star, two thumbs up, and a dinner at the Saturday Night Supper Club!
