Relation Conducive To Books Meisjeskok

Layla Mitchner probeert carrière te maken in de sjieke restaurants van Manhattan. Ze weet dat ze getalenteerd is, maar ze slaaft voor een machobaas die nog eerder de vaatwasser promotie zal geven dan een vrouw een kans bieden om te tonen dat ze het temperament heeft van een sous-chef. Layla's romantische vooruitzichten lijken al niet veel beter, want ze ontmoet de ene Onware Jacob na de andere - totat ze tenslotte op een volslagen onverwachte plek liefde en geluk vindt. De frisse, levendige toon van Hannah McCouch danst van de pagina's van Meisjeskok, een heerlijk modern Assepoesterverhaal over liefde, seks, chef-koks en de grote stad.

Weigh Up About Books Meisjeskok

This is really more of a 2.5 than a 3. It was mediocre chick lit. Easy to read, decent pace, but the main character wasn't very likeable and the scenarios she found herself in didn't seem very plausible.

Nice culinary narrative on what it's like for a woman to push into the macho realm of high-stakes, high-pressure cooking. A bit whiney, but can't fault the author for it if Hannah McCouch's accounts of Tacoma's kitchen and crew are anywhere near the truth. The romance of meeting Mr Right I suppose is necessary for the chick-lit formula and rescues the tone of the work. --Ashland Mystery

The 28-year-old protagonist was raised by wealthy parents but cut off in her early 20s. She's now living hand-to-mouth trying to make it as a cook in New York City, but her boss is sexist and keeps her stuck in salads instead of giving her a shot at saute. It's kind of an interesting story, but the main character is only mildly sympathetic, and although she admirably turns things around for herself, there's still too much reliance on a rich guy pursuing her for no apparent reason. Worth a read

I adored this book. I read it nonstop for two days. Coming from a chefs point of view, I loved the way she connected food with Layla Mitchner life. Even if you don't have a culinary background, you can admire the witty charm and humor of Layle, the main character. I do recommend it if you are looking for a light read, and share a passion of cooking.

A very, very quick read....a combination of chick lit. (think Bridget Jones Diary) and Kitchen Confidential. The girl got on my nerves with her first person whining, but I did like reading about the restaurant business and the people were all well described and sometimes pretty funny.The format put me off a bit - no chapters, its all one big long run-on story with those little text dividers every few pages. It needed more structure.

Years ago I read an article about the Food Network impact on kids who would run home from school to watch their favorite chefs create wonderful meals. The article talked about the next generation of chefs who only see the glamour of TV personalities -- not the reality of working in an actual restaurant kitchen.Layla Mitchner knows the difference. The hard work, long hours, chauvinism and no money. What? TV lies?This book started strong -- Layla wants to make it at a chef -- but then it drifted

Layla is bitter and resentful about her position in the kitchen and hates her boss, and you're thinking as you're reading, why doesn't she just quit? But then later you find out through her own thoughts to herself that she's just a total bitch and she attracts people that don't treat her well. She's hostile, doesn't know how to be nice, and hates most people. Not only is Layla unlikeable, but the story is poorly written. I won't read anything by McCouch again.
