About this listen
A James Beard Award-winning chef stands atop a 50-foot-high diving platform having just plated a competition-winning culinary masterpiece. He looks down, faints from fear of heights, and careens into the water below. Worst of all? He knocks over his dish on the way down.
So begins The Two-Plate Solution, and it only gets better from there. Follow a diverse cast of young talented chefs as they compete in a high-stakes TV cooking competition set in Israel. Their culinary foes: fake “terrorists” brought in by the producers - that is, until some actual terrorists show up on set, and the producers must scramble to either integrate them into the show or risk death.
Mysteries deepen, romances bloom, and chefs cook for their lives in this laugh-out-loud culinary adventure from Jeff Oliver, a major force in TV cooking shows the past 15 years. His talented pen will have you caring about each character...and wondering how the many unforeseeable story twists will turn out.

Oh dear!
I was really looking forward to this book, having spent many years living in Israel and working with chefs in a professional kitchen. I was sorely disappointed. I just didn't get it. The story was convoluted with far too many people. Maybe the US and UK sense of humour is completely different. It wasn't funny, I didn't even smile. Additionally, there were basic errors in the Hebrew, (a girl is a 'metoomtemet', thank you is 'toda'), and that kind of mistake makes my blood boil. Not hard to check. I think the narrator, Rebecca Hansen, did a top class job, considering the sheer number of voices and accents she was expected to perform, but it's very hard to pull off an Israeli speaking English accent and an Israeli-Arab speaking English accent and make them sound different, alongside all the other speaking she had to do. This task was too much for just one narrator, and Ms Hansen must be applauded for her monumental efforts. I don't think I've ever said this about a book before, but really, not worth your time. Sorry
