Full of wit and mouth-watering cuisines, Jessica Tom’s debut novel
offers a clever insider take on the rarefied world of New York City’s dining scene
in the tradition of The Devil Wears Prada meets Kitchen Confidential.
Food whore (n.) A person who will do anything for food.
When Tia Monroe moves to New York City, she plans to put herself
on the culinary map in no time. But after a coveted internship goes up in
smoke, Tia’s suddenly just another young food lover in the big city.
But when Michael Saltz, a legendary New York Times restaurant
critic, lets Tia in on a career-ending secret—that he’s lost his sense of
taste—everything changes. Now he wants Tia to serve as his palate, ghostwriting
his reviews. In return he promises her lavish meals, a bottomless cache of
designer clothing, and the opportunity of a lifetime. Out of prospects and
determined to make it, Tia agrees.
Within weeks, Tia’s world transforms into one of luxury: four-star
dinners, sexy celebrity chefs, and an unlimited expense account at Bergdorf
Goodman. Tia loves every minute of it…until she sees her words in print and
Michael Saltz taking all the credit. As her secret identity begins to crumble
and the veneer of extravagance wears thin, Tia is forced to confront what it
means to truly succeed—and how far she’s willing to go to get there.
