Yes, Chef! is a novel based on real-life adventures by author Lisa Joy and is for those who love the world of dining, celebrity chefs and food television. Sydney born Lisa Joy lived in London for 7 years, working as a television producer’s PA, in fashion, retail and in the restaurant business and spent a lot of time travelling around Europe indulging her love of good food. When Lisa returned to Australia, she worked as a PA to a well-known Melbourne chef.
As you can imagine, this gave Lisa a wealth of experience from which to form the foundation of a novel.
Yes, Chef! is a comedy/romance about disillusioned Becca Stone who leaves her tedious and thankless job taking reservations in one of London’s most successful restaurant empires to work as a PA to a celebrity chef. Soon, Becca’s life is one of travel, reality TV, opening nights and the general thrill of being in the spotlight. All of course, is not as it seems and soon enough the cracks in Becca’s life begin to appear.
