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.
