Chef Gina's Love, Adventure, and Recipe Series
Travel alongside Chef Gina in our 32-novella food lit book series. Food recipes are featured in each story that are enhanced by the local flavors of the 32 states Chef Gina travels to – one state per novella.
Although a fictional series, you will enjoy rooting for Chef Gina as she fights to reclaim her lost career and find true love. The included recipes are fully developed so you can prepare them in your own kitchen – just as Chef Gina does! Truly, “Food Lit” at its best!
The series takes you through just over 2 ½ years of Chef Gina’s life. It starts in Chicago where Chef Gina has just landed a contract as the featured television chef for Chicago Gets Cooking. Her life is turned upside down when on live television she is accused of plagiarizing recipes and loses her coveted position. Stunned and jobless, she goes home early only to discover her boyfriend cheating on her!
At the suggestion of her handsome manager, Chef Gina reluctantly goes on the road traveling across the United States -- to develop a food blog, cookbook, and kitchen e-store all as part of a plan to re-establish herself as a premier celebrity chef and take back her career.
Her quest turns out to be more challenging than she ever imagined. While tackling her new daily life on the road, Chef Gina meets some interesting individuals and has exciting adventures that will leave you eager to read the next book.
The series is fully plotted and the first Book 1: Tennessee Whiskey Cure is currently being written. While waiting for the release, follow Chef Gina’s Recipe Blog. You’ll be rewarded with seeing her story come together!
