can I get some hands? yes, please, chef 😈
do you have a crush on Alton Brown on Cutthroat Kitchen or Ayo Edebri on The Bear? maybe you just really love making food or eating a really good meal? do you make sure to lick your plate clean and finish your meal? then this is the list for you!
hopefully the chefs in these books make your mouth water 🤤

i love this list so much!
thank you!!! I was watching Chopped and I was like “yes, chef” 🙂↕️
Please chef can you add On the Line by Naomi Loud!
If you’ve ever worked in a restaurant this book is so nostalgic
I’m obsessed with this list!! also like, the way I kept scrolling waiting to hit the end and just kept scrolling with enough time to think “that’s a lot of chef books” “wow that’s so many chef romances” “holy SHIT this is so many chef romances” 😂😂😂😂
and I think there’s even more out there that I probably missed 🫣 people love chefs!
