Sydney may not be the best but at least she tries. I mean when given the opportunity to advance your career, you may have done the same thing as Sydney. Yet, it was kind of fitting that Sydney would do what she did to James based on his past history. However, James turned out to be a sweetheart. A good looking man who cooks; what woman would not desire this from a man. Actually I got luckily that my husband does cook some times. He is good too. All of the characters in this book were engaging including Rick the Prick. By the end of the story Rick had grown on me. I would not call him a total prick but he does have his moments. Yet, after getting to know him better, I like Sydney learned to deal with him. I will be checking out more books by this author. ( ) A Second Bite at the Apple by Dana Bate has so many elements that interest me - food, the local food movement, big business versus independents, and journalistic integrity. Sydney is a likable main character as are some of the strong characters who surround her. It's a quick, light, enjoyable read; I just did not fall in love with it. Given the subject matter, I expected to, but I did not.

HTML:"Bate's writing is smart and compelling." â??Publishers Weekly From the acclaimed author of The Girls' Guide to Love and Supper Clubs comes a witty, honest novel, perfectly seasoned with both humor and heart, about daring to bite into the life you really want. . . Sydney Strauss is obsessed with food. Not with eating itâ??though she does that tooâ??but with writing about the wonders of the gastronomic world, from obscure fruit hybrids to organic farming techniques. Since food journalism jobs are more coveted than Cronuts®, Sydney pays her bills working for one of TV's biggest egomaniacsâ??until she's left scrambling for shifts at a local farmers' market. Stacking muffins for the Wild Yeast Bakery isn't going to win her any James Beard awards. But soon Sydney is writing the market's weekly newsletter, and her quirky stories gain attention from a prominent food columnist. After years of putting her love life into deep freeze, she's even dating again. And then Sydney gets a shot at the story, one that could either make her career or burn it to a crispâ??along with her relationship and her reputation. . . "A breezy, idiomatic voice." â?? Publishers Weekly "Full of humor and lots of genuine heart." â?? RT Book Reviews "In smart and crisp prose, Bate tells a winning story about food, love and second chances, with recipes appended. Great fun." - Booklist Praise for The Girls' Guide to Love and Supper Clubs "Bate deftly conjures up a witty, resilient heroine, surrounds her with delightful friends and frenemies, and sends them all on a rollicking quest for love and delicious food." â??Kirkus "Engaging. . .Even Bate's implausible happy ending feels right." â??Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "The foodâ??oh my goodnessâ??the food! From the Dupont Circle farmers' market to the Maine Avenue Fish Market, Hannah leads readers on a culinary tour of D.C.'s locavore scene.
