From the author of Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors comes another , clever, deeply layered, and heartwarming romantic comedy that follows in the Jane Austen traditionâ??this time, with a twist on Persuasion.

Chef Ashna Raje desperately needs a new strategy. How else can she save her beloved restaurant and prove to her estranged, overachieving mother that she isn't a complete screw up? When she's asked to join the cast of Cooking with the Stars, the latest hit reality show teaming chefs with celebrities, it seems like just the leap of faith she needs to put her restaurant back on the map. She's a chef, what's the worst that could happen?

Rico Silva, that's what.

Being paired with a celebrity who was her first love, the man who ghosted her at the worst possible time in her life, only proves what Ashna has always believed: leaps of faith are a recipe for disaster.

FIFA winning soccer star Rico Silva isn't too happy to be paired up with Ashna either. Losing Ashna years ago almost destroyed him. The only silver lining to this bizarre situation is that he can finally prove to Ashna that he's definitely over her.

But when their catastrophic first meeting goes viral, social media becomes obsessed with their chemistry. The competition on the show is fierce...and so is the simmering desire between Ashna and Rico. Every minute they spend together rekindles feelings that pull them toward their disastrous past. Will letting go again be another recipe for heartbreakâ??or a recipe for persuasion...?

In Recipe for Persuasion, Sonali Dev once again takes readers on an unforgettable adventure in this fresh, fun, and enchanting romantic comedy… (más)

Ostensibly a romance, but upfront I'm going to note that this book includes discussions of suicide, marital rape, alcoholism, crippling anxiety so... a cute cover does not mean all is light and fluffy! I knew that it would probably hit serious themes though, given the previous entry ([b:Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors|41154302|Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors (The Rajes, #1)|Sonali Dev|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1539890985l/41154302._SY75_.jpg|64328109] did too.

I don't know Persuasion as well as I do P&P so, aside from long-lost loves named Frederick(o), I don't know what other beats are here (and how many are in Ashna's story vs. Shoban's.) I really did enjoy this though, and the comedy (sorta) of manners in mother and daughter trying to figure each other out. Rico's alright too, but I do wish we could've gotten a little bit more of his backstory. ( )

Review

Phew. PPaOF was one of my favorite reads of last year although it had a bit more angst than I usually found in romcoms. This takes that wayyy up a notch. So spoiler this book contains a lot of triggering content and was not the haha book I would have liked (at this moment in time). However, its a really well written book and I already seen it being one of my most memorable reads this year too. ( )

This is set in the same universe as Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors and you do see the main characters from it but they are only side players here. Ashne is struggling to keep open her father’s famous restaurant 12 years after his death. It is teetering on the edge in part to some employee’s siphoning off money while she was at cooking school and her inability to cook anything but her dad’s old recipes. Rico is a recently retired star soccer player that was forced into it due to a knee injury. He also happens to be her secret high school sweetheart. I picked this up because I thought the cooking show angle that brings them together and the Austin remix would be entertaining but the family drama in Ashne’s past with a distant mother and an alcoholic father can make this an uncomfortable read. There is a HEA at the end and some closure to hurts that the heroine suffered but it can be a bit emotional.

This Jane Austen inspired contemporary romance novel was a decent, uniquely written diverse-filled read that left me pleasantly surprised on how much I didn't completely hate it. Sure Ashna estranged mother Shobj annoyed me like no other but the rekindle romance between Ansha and Rico made up for it. Overall, it was not a bad read and would definitely keep this author on my radar for future releases.

For Aie and Baba for disregarding the "in-law" in daughter-in-law from the very start, but more importantly for doing away with all the patriarchal nonsense that goes with it. Without your unconditional love and support this journey would not be half as joyful.
