All Comments on 'Taking It Up a Notch'

This is a nice premise and you fill out the characters well. Please, though, find a proofreader. "Asses" and "assess" are two very different things. "Referring occasionally to a piece of paper on which the recipe had been written by hand." - that is just an awkward fragment. I'm not trying to discourage you, I think your writing shows genuine promise.

Can't rate it as iy is not finished.

Nice start, looking forward to more
