THE SATURDAY NIGHT SUPPER CLUB Supper Club, Book 1

Narrator Teri Schnaubelt serves up an elegant romance simmering with cooking references. Responding to an article written by freelancer Alex Kanin, high-end Denver chef Rachel Bishop commits a social media faux pas and loses her job. Wanting to atone, Alex teams up with Rachel to offer a Saturday Night Supper Club to entice a new investor for Rachel. Schnaubelt’s smooth pacing conveys cooking terminology and sensory experiences to listeners. Her straightforward presentation matches Rachel and Alex’s respectful relationship. Rachel’s voice has an underlying longing for approval and belonging, while Alex’s deeper, slightly gruff tone sounds entirely natural. Rachel’s friend, Melody, and Alex’s sister, Dina, are memorable, too. Schnaubelt opens up Laureano’s story as it moves from cooking to personal growth to love.
