If You Can't Take the Heat by Michael Ruhlman
3.0
Book #76 read in 2024
I loved two things about this book: the setting, Cleveland in the 1980s, and the culinary world. This was a true depiction of the workings of a busy kitchen. However, the characters were not as easy to love. In fact, I found Theo to be a bit insufferable and Julia downright unlikable. Theo did have a great coming-of-age arc, and I ended up liking the story quite a bit overall.
Thank you to the publisher for the complimentary ebook.
