After Juliette is forced to move back home and help financially with the crumbling manor, she is confronted with difficult memories of her mother, medeling family members, and a mysterious chef working to start a cooking school at the home. Juliette has recently left an abusive relationship back in London, which causes conflict between her and the chef who has been burned by his last relationship as well.

Unfortunately, this one missed the mark for me. I felt the language used was too formal and forced and I often thought the book should have been set in the early 1900s. I also felt the connection and relationship between Juliette and Leo could have been more developed. I liked Juliette, her spunk and sass, but felt a disconnect with the way the characters communicated.

Thank you to NetGalley for the free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have just finished this and really enjoyed it. The story moved along at a good pace and I found it enjoyable, I liked that each of the three sisters were totally different and so had their own stories to bring together, the ending was predictable but i liked the journey to get there. I would definitely recommend this for a good beach read this summer

This one was definitely feel-good, exactly as promised. Feywood makes for the perfect backdrop and with its lovely description, it’s almost like having travelled there through words. The concept of the cookery is beautifully explored. Definitely my most favourite section of Feywood!

While at times the connection between Léo and Juliet felt choppy, it still made me want to root for them. With this as a strong foundation, I hope Frankie and Martha get equally swoon-worthy partners further in the series.

Thank you for my advance copy!

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book by Hannah Langdon,

Juliet’s 30th birthday is approaching and she’s going to Feywood to celebrate it with her family.

After the celebrations, at a family meeting the sisters are informed that they have some financial problems, and in order to stay in the house, they need to generate income.

Some plans have been made to open a cookery school, which her aunt Sylvia and the French chef Leo, who is living with them, will be in charge of.

The memories she has are happy ones, especially of her childhood, but they don’t include those of her mother, who didn’t treat her as she did her sisters, which is why Juliet left home very early. But, her father was unaware of this treatment.

Now, even though she doesn’t want to, she’s been coaxed into coming back to Feywood, leaving London. She’ll do her job from there and be able to help with funds for the house.

There was some hard issues covered in the story.

Has Juliet made the right decision or will she regret it and return to London.

I recommend this book.

Escape to the Country Kitchen 🥘🪴🌾🥖

⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: Fiction/Romance
Author: Hannah Langdon

“It was clarity she needed, and space, and the practicality of the kitchen garden was the place that would offer that.”

Juliet is forced to leave her city life in London to move to her childhood countryside home. Her father and aunt have started a cooking school with Chef Léo who is running from a scandal in France. Alongside her family and handsome Léo, they work to save the family’s English manor house. Juliet begins to enjoy the easy, country life and the close proximity to Léo, but is it enough to leave her fast-paced London life behind?

This was such a cozy, cute romance. It is perfect if you are looking for a quick, easy spring/summer read. I love the character growth of Juliet, the FMC, and the dynamics among the family are realistic and relatable.

When starting this book, I really thought it was going to be a very atmospheric read. However, I didn’t see as much description of the country garden, kitchen, or food as I expected. While I liked the characters of Léo and Juliet, I didn’t feel any chemistry/tension between the two.

While this wasn’t everything I expected, I would be interested in reading the rest of this series to find out what happens with the other sisters and the manor. Thank you to @netgalley and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

Juliet returns to her run down country house only to learn her sisters have turned it into a cooking school. she must learn to get along with the French cook. quick sweet read.

A great big hug of a book perfect for an evening snuggled up on the sofa. I was hooked from the first page and read it in one go but never wanted it to end as it is a perfect piece of romantic escapism, Beautifully written, the characters are engaging and relateable and the gorgeous setting leaves you dreaming of a life in the country. This book gave me a serious dose of the warm and fuzzies and I can’t wait for the next!

This was a enjoyable slow burn for me but I'm happy to see there is a sequel coming next year. This is one of these books in which the location is as main a character as anyone else and I really like that. An enjoyable read, I'm looking forward to the sequel.

I read this as an ARC on NetGalley
You can really come home again. A nosy family, a crumbling mansion and a too hot to handle chef. Juliet comes home to lick her wounds but finds out you can really come home again and not only finds happiness but a fulfillment she had not had before.

This was a delightful read filled with delicious foods, a heart warming romance and the countryside. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and would highly recommend.

A gentle tale and an easy quick book to read. Love and devotion with cookery the core of the book. The introduction of the puppy Ava could have been developed more in my opinion. Thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the chance to ARC this book.

A lovely book full of food and country houses.

Juliet is asked to come back to same the family home, she’s an artist in London and she doesn’t know what to do. Her ex Toby is a narcissist and she won’t block him. Leo the new chef that’s helping open the cookery school is French and polite. Will Juliet go back home and which guy will she choose?

A great setting with good characters. Juliet is a nice girl, but did annoy me when she knew what is wrong is wrong. A quick read and interesting in the next book. 4 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

Juliet Carlisle has come back to the family home, Feywood to celebrate her thirtieth birthday. Juliet comes from an artistic familial background.
Juliet’s sisters Martha and Frankie still live there, alongside their father Rousseau and Aunt Sylvia.
Rousseau calls a family meeting. Will Juliet be pulled back to her childhood home?

I like the writing style of the author and enjoyed reading this book. I could picture Feywood completely in my minds eye. I would have loved to have eaten some of the delicious sounding food mentioned.
I believe this is the first of three books in this series, the one’s to follow being Martha and Frankie. I am very much looking forward to reading their stories, especially Martha’s.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Publisher for an advanced e-book copy. Opinions about the book are entirely my own.

"Escape to the Country Kitchen" was a lovely book. It is so heartwarming and sweet to two find love with each other with a bump in the road.

Juliet and Leo’s story is told through third person point of view which I have just noticed is not my favorite. The story takes place in the English countryside and it gives very warm and cozy feelings.

The story felt a little superficial and I had a hard time following along with the character development. Trigger warning for abuse and it is a light enemies to lovers trope. I felt like the majority of the book and plot line was one dimensional.

Thank you to NetGalley, Storm Publishing, and Hannah Langdon for providing me with a copy of this book for an honest review.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. Unfortunately this book didn't really do it for me, despite liking the concept. I struggled to get into it and didn't particularly like the characters, except Sylvia.

Food and Romance was enough for me to grab this book up (who doesn't love food and romance). I am not sure about the rest of the story. Yes, it is lighthearted and an easy read, but I had trouble relating to the characters. The start of the relationship felt rushed and I missed the chemistry, but I missed the overall connection between them as well. I did love the scene settings. There was the family drama to create a bit of conflict, which was okay. I think I would not have used so much inner dialogue but let them actually talk. I just can’t stand the miscommunication nonsense, but that's probably personal. For me, this was an okay-ish read, but not spectacular or swept off my feet. If you are just looking for a sweet, easy read this would probably do.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, NetGalley, and Storm Publishing for this ARC.

A cute, sunny tale in a charming setting filled with quirky characters and delicious culinary delights. The author painted a beautiful description of the manor house and cookery school as the characters dealt with their emotional struggles throughout the story.

Escape to the Country Kitchen was ok. I wanted to give it more than three stars because I love the premise of the story but Juliet did not appeal to me as a main character. Thank you for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very quick and cute read. I highly recommend you not reading while hungry or on a diet.

I'm a huge fan of cozy romances. I wish Goodreads would do half stars since this is a solid 3.5 but not a 4.

I want to thank NetGalley for the arc for my honest opinion. This is truly my honest opinion,
