    Not good

    This book was very boring. So boring in fact, I skipped to the end and nothing had happened! Plus it is very over written. The author never uses one word when she can use ten. Just by reading the first sentence of every paragraph I got the entire gist of the book. Not for me.

    Off the Menu disapoints

    Stacey Ballis is a clever and entertaining writer,but this novel is very disapointing. The character development is excellent but there is no plot. Names of chefs are thrown around, but the cooking world is not researched or written about well. I read the entire book waiting for something to happen but it never did. This book clearly smacks of a throwaway novel written quickly. Dont waste your money on this one.

    Good, but a bit too "perfect."

    This book started out seeming to be about the professional and personal challenges of the main character in a humorous and engaging way... But things just turned out too perfectly for my taste. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it didn't... Losing the humor and charm.

    I may have had unrealistic expectations for this book because it was recommended by Jen Lancaster, my favorite snarky author. I was expecting this book to be more like her writing, which it is not.

    Sweet story . . . No pun intended

    Quick and lighthearted read with some great recipes as a bonus.
