Culinary delights abound, romance lingers in the air, and plans go terribly, wonderfully astray in this gender-bent take on My Fair Lady from Jennieke Cohen, author of Dangerous Allianceperfect for fans of Bridgerton or A Gentlemans Guide to Vice and Virtue. Its 1830s England, and Culinariansdoyens who consult with societys elite to create gorgeous food and confectionsare the crme de la crme of high society. Helena Higgins, top of her class at the Royal Academy, has a sharp demeanor and an even sharper palateand knows stardom awaits her if she can produce greatness in her final year. Penelope Pickering is going to prove the value of non-European cuisine to all of England. Her contemporaries may scorn her Filipina heritage and her dishes, but with her flawless social graces and culinary talents, Penelope is set to prove them wrong. Elijah Little has nothing to his name but a truly excellent instinct for flavors. London merchants wont allow a Jewish boy to own a shop, so he hawks his pasties for a shilling a piece to passersbybut he knows with training he can break into the highest echelon of society. When Penelope and Helena meet Elijah, a golden opportunity arises: to pull off a project never seen before, and turn Elijah from a street vendor to a gentleman chef. But Elijahs transformation will have a greater impact on this trio than they originally realizeand mayhem, unseemly faux pas, and a little romance will all be a part of the delicious recipe.

Did I know I needed a YA gender-swap of My Fair Lady set in the food world in 1830s London where in an imagined reign of Queen Charlotte women can become the top of society as Culinarians? No-but it turns out I did! Helena Higgins is determined to graduate top of her class with a final project to make over humble street vendor Elijah Little into a Gentleman Chef with her sweet friend & fellow Culinaria student ⬇️

DebinHawaii …Penelope Pickering helping. Full of wit & charm, food competitions & romance balanced with lessons about class & ethnicity. Overall a fun take on a classic & the light escapist book I needed right now. It also made me hungry! 🤤This one found me by way of my library‘s Libby recommendations & I realized that I have the author‘s first book (described as “An Austentacious Romance”) on my Kindle & I will be moving it up my TBR.

DebinHawaii @Dragon it‘s a little different from both but I think you‘ll be happy with it if you liked the movie ending best! 🤗 2y
DebinHawaii @Clwojick if you have seen the movie or play you will enjoy it & I think it stands in it‘s own even if you haven‘t! 2y
Dragon Thanks @DebinHawaii I‘m happy to hear that. 💚🐉 2y

I am really enjoying this YA foodie gender-swap of My Fair Lady. It‘s fun & it‘s making me hungry. Luckily I have a bag of the best chewy mini chocolate chip cookies 🍪 to nosh on. Although I‘m going to need to put them away soon because it‘s just too easy to eat them all. 🍪🍪😋🍪🍪🍪

I went to an author event at my local B&N for author Jennieke Cohen. She was in conversation with fellow author Kate Abbott. (Full disclosure: I used to work with both of them at a publishing company.) It was really fun, and I‘m excited to read her new book!

This was a really cute My Fair Lady retelling! I have seen My Fair Lady, but it was a while ago so I didn‘t pick up on any of the references to it. If you‘re a fan of the movie I‘m sure you would appreciate those references.

Has anyone read this yet? I am thinking about trying it out when it comes available on Scribd (the beginning of next month). It is a gender swap retelling of My Fair Lady. I loved the movie when I was a kid. Hoping it's good! 🤞🤞🤞
