GRR Reviews Bittersweet by Sarina Bowen

Audrey is a chef reduced to a gofer. Right now, she's on a purchase run in Vermont for her Boston restaurant group, which should have fired her already... Until she spun out into a ditch on the road to Shipley Farms... and met up with her hookup back in school, Griff Shipley, who was yummy then, but now, a true physical specimen of manliness // Griff had to give up his NFL dreams when his father died, leaving him to run the family farm. He has no time for a girl sent on a fool's errand... Trying to purchase top-grade organic produce for below cost. The two are on opposite sides of the issue, but their bodies hadn't forgotten about each other... Esp. when she managed to demonstrate some of her cooking skills for his farm crew... But when Audrey's boss pulled the rug out from under her, what will happen to their relationship?

While I like the bits about opposites, the recipes, and more, the ending was basically a deus ex machina.
