Bethany Turner ~ Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish

Bethany Turner returns to Novelists Unwind to talk about her exciting new novel, Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish. The hero and heroine of this story, both celebrity chefs with opposite temperaments, “will either fall in love or run down the kitchen.” For these two characters, Hadley and Max, cooking is a skill, a career, and a sanctuary.

Think of the Pioneer Woman and Gordon Ramsey–both favorites who inspired Bethany as she became acquainted with Hadley and Max. Hadley’s southern charm makes her instantly relatable while Max was more of a challenge.

Bethany and I also talk about our own cooking experiences. She shares how her microwaved pralines turned out and I admit to burning taco shells.

We also chat about Bethany’s chapter titles which are a recipe in themselves, both for a fabulous dish but also for love, and how Bethany “digs negative reviews.” (As you may have guessed, we laugh a lot in this video!)

Connect with Bethany on her website and Facebook. You’re also invited to join Bethany’s Facebook Readers Group, The Book Club Closest to My House. The only requirement is to have read at least one of Bethany’s books.

Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish

Celebrity chef Maxwell Cavanagh is known for many things: his multiple Michelin stars, his top-rated Culinary Channel show To the Max, and most of all his horrible temper. Hadley Beckett, host of the Culinary Channel’s other top-rated show, At Home with Hadley, is beloved for her Southern charm and for making her viewers feel like family.

When Max experiences a very public temper tantrum, he’s sent packing to get his life in order. When he returns, career in shambles, his only chance to get back on TV and in the public’s good graces is to work alongside Hadley.

As these polar-opposite celeb chefs begin to peel away the layers of public persona and reputation, they will not only discover the key ingredients for getting along, but also learn the secret recipe for unexpected forgiveness . . . and maybe even love. In the meantime, hide the knives.

Fan-favorite Bethany Turner serves up a heaping helping of humor and romance with this thoroughly modern story centered on cooking, enemies, and second chances.

After four years with her boyfriend, Cadie McCaffrey is thinking of ending things. Convinced Will doesn’t love her in the “forever” way she loves him, Cadie believes it’s time for her to let him go before life passes her by. When a misunderstanding leads to a mistake, leaving her hurt, disappointed, and full of regret, she finally sends him packing.

But for Will, the end of their relationship is only the beginning of his quest to figure out how to be the man Cadie wanted him to be. With the dubious guidance of his former pro-athlete work friends and tactics drawn from Cadie’s favorite romantic comedies, Will attempts to win her back. It’s a foolproof plan. What could possibly go wrong?
