Alessia on Adam
He’s a feeling. His energy is a force that makes an impact whether you want it to or not. He’s charming, easygoing, and loved by everyone. Especially me. He’s been the love of my life since I was a fifteen-year-old summer camper and he was a burned-out chef volunteering to make sloppy joes in the dining hall.
Unfortunately, he has a type. Tall, thin, and gorgeous. And I’m…none … I’m…none of those things.
I’m the friend. The roommate. The one he runs a restaurant with.
Adam on Alessia
She’s my past, my present, and my future. She’s my muse. I cook with her tastes in mind. I cook for her. But, as my brother points out, she won’t be my future if I don’t come clean about the fact that I’ve been hung up on her for years.
Coming clean might not be a choice at this rate, though. If I see Alessia on another goddamn dating app, I’m gonna lose my shit. I physically can’t stay away from her any longer, even if I risk losing everything we’ve built together.
The Objective
The sexiest Valentine’s Day menu ever created. And maybe, just maybe, fingers aren’t the only thing getting licked after this meal.
Buon Appetito!

After a reading dry spell, Cara Dee’s book Dirty Chef was all I needed! I think the buildup between Alessia and Adam was written with great care and compelled the reader to get hooked to the story. Sexy hot, and also realistic and skillfully crafted, Dirty Chef is a sinfully sweet read you don’t want to miss.
3.5
So….
The premises were great and the story is actually nice.
I liked the plot; i liked the characters, especially Alessia because she is one of us and not some perfect doll; i liked the relationship between Adam and Alessia…
It should have been an amazing read but for some unknown reasons I didn’t feel invested.
So I just liked it and not really loved it
Ooh damn, this was HOT! I love the Camassia Cove world and am always stoked to come back to it. Alessia and Adam have been dancing around one another for a decade and finally, finally!, with one menu tasting, everything they thought they couldn’t have explodes with some serious sexual napalm. What’s even better? All the tenderness that hits you right in the feels. Short, infinitely sweet, and incredibly sexy, this is definitely going on my re-read shelf. 4.5 stars.
Ooft! Hot, steamy and full of flavour. Thats just the kitchen scenes. And dont get me started on the sex!
This book sucked me in from the 1st page.
Adam and Alessia have been friends for years and seem to be blind to the others feelings. But oh boy do they suddenly realise in their story.
This is the kind of fun, feel good story you need at times like this. This was a sweet and sexy friends to love story I ate up. Note you probably should not read on an empty stomach because of the yummy food talk. This author never disappoints. Thanks for a perfect and fun way to escape reality for a short while.
Having ‘seen’ Alessia and Adam in the background of some of Cara Dee’s other books, I was so excited to see how their chemistry up close. Dirty Chef did not disappoint.
Right from the beginning, the heat between them was a simmering flame just begging for ignition. When the match dropped, they became an inferno and I couldn’t look away.
This book was one of those that I started, intending to just read a couple chapters before bed, but could not put down. It’s a sweet, sexy, delicious read I’m sure I’ll revisit time and time again.
This is a sweet and steamy story about friends to lovers. You will be rooting for them to get their act together and see that they are meant to be more than friends.
Also we get a glimpse of some of the other citizens of Camassia that we have already gotten to hear their story.
You will definitely get hungry reading this book, with all the yummy food being cooked in the story.
Dirty Chef is brilliant.
The story is sweet, hot and fun to read.
Alessia has been in love with Adam since she was 15yrs old, she is his best friend, roommate and business partner in their restaurant.
Adam is in love with Alessia but doesn’t think they want the same things when it comes to having a family, but he will take what he can get.
For those looking for a age gap story that is a fun read, has sexy times, a j/p MMC and a MFC who is sweet and caring this is the story for you.
This was a sweet, steamy and fun read!! Loved these characters. Loved Adam & Alessia
Camassia Cove has a new story, Dirty Chef. A M/F romance from the fab Cara Dee. Our leading lady, Alessia met Adam, our leading man at 15 when he was the chef at the camp she was attending. Now jump forward a few years. Our leads are best friends, business partners, and housemates. Oh, and they are also madly in love with each other and have been since they met. Let’s see what happens…
Will Adam cook his way into Alessia’s heart, will Alessia let him?
The Dirty Chef by Cara Dee is such a great love story that tugged at my heartstrings and made me root for a couple to get their act together and just be happy. I laughed and cried. Cara Dee doesn’t just tell a story she creates the emotion and atmosphere in her writing too. This story somehow manages to be light-hearted & fun. I love getting to read both Adam and Alessia’s POV.
Welcome back to Camassia Cove!
We finally see the relationship between Adam and Alessia from Coho Bar & Grill. They are partners and roommates. From the beginning, it was clear to see that they have feelings for each other. They have busy weak ahead as Valentine Day is approaching. They have to prepare Valentine Day menu for the restaurant and suppress their feelings. But the feelings cannot be suppressed any more. Will they risk everything they build together and finally surrender? It was very lovely read. I really enjoyed their relationship.
P.S. Adam is every woman dream when they have period cramps. He takes care Alessia so much when she is in pain <3
This was a sweet, steamy, fun read!! Loved these characters. I also want to eat every bit of food described in this book!!
