She just doesn’t anticipate that her celebrity partner will be FIFA-winning soccer star Rico Silva, the first love she hasn’t seen or spoken to in a decade. Taking center stage on the new Food Network show Cooking with the Stars seems like the last thing Ashna would consider doing, but if it means prize money and publicity for her beloved Curried Dreams, she’s all in. Recipe for Persuasion tells the story of Bay Area chef Ashna Raje, who is as desperate to save her family restaurant as she is to prove her worth to her estranged mother. I fell in love with Dev’s writing last year through Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors, and she’s just added a fabulous new literary dish to the menu with Recipe for Persuasion. Never did I think these two worlds would collide, but thanks to Sonali Dev’s latest novel, they have. There are two things I absolutely cannot resist: a smart Jane Austen retelling and a Food Network cooking competition.
