kitchen ... When twenty-something Isabella Pasternack is fired from her job at a digital food
magazine she accepts a thankless job for the paycheck: ghostwrite the very past-due cookbook
for a once-beloved thirty-something actress Molly Babcock. Molly trying to repair her
reputation after a serious downward spiral meets Isabella's earnest attempts to connect with
inconsistency indifference and cruelty. But for the first time in her life Isabella is
determined to dig in her heels and figure out if there's anything Molly actually knows how to
cook (or even likes to eat). Isabella's slice of contemporary New York is filled out by a cast
including: Isabella's acerbic roommate and best friend Owen her widowed mother whose cooking
isn't only bad it's dangerous and of course a handsome chef love interest. Hilarious and

want seconds!' STEVEN ROWLEY
