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.
