Amanda Elliot's latest Jewish foodie rom-com, Love You a Latke, is now available! We're excited to feature it here today and Melissa is even more excited to read it, as she enjoyed Amanda's previous novel, Best Served Hot (reviewed here). Thanks to Berkley, we have one copy for a lucky reader!
Snow is falling, holiday lights are twinkling, but the beauty of December in small-town Vermont is being eclipsed for Abby Cohen by one person: Seth. He comes into her café every morning with his incessantly positive attitude to spread holiday cheer, and Abby has enough to deal with without his antics. As the only Jewish business-owner on her town’s tourism board, she’s been tasked with planning an upcoming Hanukkah festival. Unfortunately, the local vendors know nothing about the story of the holiday, and her efforts to host an authentic event are coming up empty.
Desperate for support, Abby puts out a call for help online and discovers that she was wrong about being the only Jewish person within a hundred miles when Seth comes to her rescue.
It turns out that Seth’s family has been badgering him to bring home a girlfriend for Hanukkah, especially after his recent breakup. Abby has a business to run, and no time for such nonsense—except that Seth has connections with some of New York City’s best food vendors. If she plays along, Seth will introduce her to anyone she needs to make the Hanukkah festival a success. If Abby can survive Seth’s incessant positivity and irritatingly handsome smile for a week—not to mention his very excited family—this just might be a win-win situation for everyone involved. But over latkes, doughnuts, and winter adventures in the city, Abby begins to wonder if her fake boyfriend and his family might be what she needs to truly understand the reason for the season.
“One of my favorite reads of 2024, Love You A Latke by Amanda Elliot is Hanukkah romance at its very best.”
"Love You a Latke is a beautiful story with an unexpected slow burn romance and amazing supporting characters. But it's also a story about community — the community you're embraced by, the community you make and the magical miracle of Hanukkah."

Yes, they were good but rich (though it was a first time home cook so that may not have been normal).
