The Chef's Redemption

Lyric and inspired, this powerful debut novel brilliantly evokes the trials of Monroe Goolynabura, a smart, ambitious young chef determined to make his mark in the ruthless cooking world of New York City. But Monroe is haunted by the memory of last year’s Union Square Fair, where, by no fault of his own, he made hundreds of customers sick by serving them a tainted wild boar dish. This year, he is given another opportunity to cook at the Union Square Fair, and this time around, with his reputation at stake, nothing will stand between him and redemption.
