Pizza, Love, and Other Stuff That Made Me Famous (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Sixteen-year-old Sophie was practically raised in the kitchen of her family’s traditional Taverna Ristorante. When her best friend Alex encourages her to audition for a new reality show, Teen Test Kitchen, Sophie is reluctant. Could she really measure up to eight teen chefs at the National Culinary Academy in Napa Valley for seven weeks? Eventually, Sophie decides to throw herself into the heated contest to become America’s next teen chef and win a full scholarship to one of the finest culinary schools in the country. Through the competitiveness among the aspiring star chefs, Sophie learns a lot about friendship, and what's important to her. In addition to making some terrific friends, Sophie finds romance with a gorgeous French student. The summer teaches her more than she could imagine, and when she returns home she comes to understand that her true passion for food lies in the traditional values of her family’s restaurant as opposed to the celebrity-obsessed culture of star television chefs.
