Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD LAINEY DREAMS of becoming a world famous chef one day and maybe even having her own cooking show. (Do you know how many African American female chefs there aren’t? And how many vegetarian chefs have their own shows? The field is wide open for stardom!) But when her best friend—and secret crush—suddenly leaves town, Lainey finds herself alone in the kitchen. With a little help from Saint Julia (Child, of course), Lainey finds solace in her cooking as she comes to terms with the past and begins a new recipe for the future.

Peppered with recipes from Lainey’s notebooks, this delicious debut novel finishes the same way one feels finishing a good meal—satiated, content, and hopeful.

About the Author

This is Tanita S. Daviss first novel. She made her first pâte à choux in high school, discovered that Mae Ploy sauce goes with almost everything, and that theres nothing on earth like good Thai food. She lives in Northern California with two finches, a snake named Willful, and the worlds best baker.
