Non-Fiction Memoir
A woman, a chicken, and a million-dollar adventure in
the heartland of America's competitive cooking culture.
When Ellie Mathews entered her recipe for Salsa
Couscous Chicken-eight chicken thighs cooked in Old El Paso
salsa-in the grandma of all cooking contests, the Pillsbury
Bake-Off, she never imagined she'd win the grand prize.
Immediately after Alex Trebek announced that her dish had
won a million dollars, this amateur cook was thrown into the
limelight. She soon found herself booked on Oprah-and even
photographed for the New York Times in a vest made of
ostrich feathers-as the reigning queen of chickendom, the
Pillsbury "It Girl" of the moment.
With a dash of
self-deprecating humor and a pinch of biting social
commentary, Ellie Mathews takes readers with her on her
roller coaster ride to the top of the food chain as the
Pillsbury prizewinner. As a cooking contest insider, she
goes behind the counter and beyond the aprons and oven mitts
to reveal a fascinating slice of Americana.
