A renowned and fiery celebrity chef, Alexander Chen, finds himself unexpectedly attracted to his new sous chef, Eden Monroe, in Katrina Kwan’s latest novel, Knives, Seasoning, and a Dash of Love (Penguin Random House $24.95). Alexander, one of the first Chinese-American chefs to dominate the French haute cuisine scene, is known for his intense temper and high standards. However, Eden remembers a time when he was sweet and kind, back when he went by his real name, Shang. Despite her own inexperience and a heavily embellished résumé, Eden is determined to keep her job so that she can earn enough money to fund a private detective for a personal search. As their clashing personalities heat up the kitchen, they must navigate their growing attraction, which proves to be even spicier than their culinary creations. 9781039012417
