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.
