Totally Cooked

Cupcakes are the new popular – not!

Venice Ng is about as Chinese as the sweet and sour pork at Number One Noodle Son, her family’s take-out restaurant. She’s happy working her exotic appeal as one of the Flames, a team of strictly A-list dancers at her high school. But when she is accused of causing another girl’s anorexia, Venice is sentenced to a prison term in Slop n’ Chop, aka Culinary Arts, and her world spins out of control.

Now this undomestic goddess has to learn how to cook like a pro. At the same time, she can’t afford to miss a single step in her precarious social dance or she’ll fall back into obscurity. Which means falling for Quinn, the vegan troublemaker, is so far out of the question she shouldn’t even think about it. So why can’t she stop hanging around him in cooking class?

On the flipside of the cake there’s sweet, mousy Eileen: food blogger, cooking whiz and all-round good girl. But maybe she’s sick of sweet and looking for spice… and Venice may be just the right recipe for change.

They let Gossip Girl in the kitchen. Big mistake.
