Dining with Joy

By Rachel Hauck

Description:

Joy Ballard has a secret: she's a cooking show host who can't really cook.

When her South Carolina-based cooking show, Dining With Joy, is picked up by a major network, Joy Ballard's world heats up like a lowcountry boil.

Joy needs help. Then she meets chef Luke Davis who moved to Beaufort after losing his Manhattan restaurant. A cook at the Frogmore Cafe, he's paying debts and longing to regain his reputation in the elite foodie world.

Luke and Joy mix like oil and water…until Joy is exposed on national television. With her career and his reputation both under fire, they'll have to work together to fix the mess. Is it possible that they can learn to feast on God's love and dine with joy?

Book Takeaway:

Jesus said, "My food is to do the will of the One who sent me." But so often we don't see us as THE one the Father sent us for a purpose. We are all born "for such a time as this." So God, what do you have for me.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote this book because I just wondered one day, "What if a cooking show host couldn't cook?" It seemed like such a fun juxtaposition.
