Prep Work by PD Singer

Celebrity chef Jude Marshall's ditched his camera crew for the first time in a month—he's been eating his way through local cuisines on several continents for his television show. No spider-on-a-stick this trip, thank God. Jude's exhausted; all he wants on his London layover is a pint of beer and some comfort food. Stumbling into a gastro-pub, Jude instead finds haute cuisine;his grumbles bring him face to face with chef—and fan—Tommy Bell.

When Jude steps into the kitchen to autograph Tommy's copy of his cookbook, he finds himself lending a hand, and discovers it's possible to tenderize a hardened heart.

I like that Jude, on the surface, isn't so very lovable. Tommy definitely had his work cut out for him worming his way into Jude's heart. Loved the food references and may even have to learn to make Guinness Apple Crumble.

Thank you, Eden. Jude was fun to write, what with anything that goes through his head coming out his mouth.
