This M/M short story reads more like "Life in a restaurant's kitchen 101" than a short romance: there are several explanations that might have been interesting had they not been so dry.
The two leads are stiff and unlikeable and the chemistry between them is non existent.

The second story has more flesh to it and is therefore more interesting, but I would not go so far as to call it compelling.

This was 2 books one about a chef and the other historian professor and grad student. I thought they were good. Topics were so-so. Almost too much explanation Chef 101 but a bit interesting. The historians about the same almost lost at the beginning but then caught on. I'll have to agree with other person "dude" was out of place, not a word I was expecting out of anyone, just felt wrong. Kind of like yelling STOP. Other than that fun read.

These two stories could had promise, but didn't deliver. :(

The first story is a "dummy's guide" to working in a restaurant kitchen.....very descriptive about the equipment, prep work and even food storage and then it ends very confusingly with sex in the cellar amongst the potatoes and onions......health and safety issue surely??? The only redeeming item was the word "pillock"....not heard that in a decade!!

The second story had a little more about it, but couldn't really connect with the characters, lost interest and skimmed to the end.

:(

Two books by the same guy. Great stories, lovable characters, lots of loving and then the word that destroyed it all. DUDE - no, nope, nein, niet... ~shake my head vigorously~
