From the coauthor of the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestselling Skinny Bitch lifestyle series—a clever, kick-ass novel about friendship, romance, and making healthy choices both in and out of the kitchen.

Clementine Cooper is a born vegan, committed in every way
to the healthy lifestyle she was raised with on her father’s
organic farm. But how bad could a little butter be? Bad
enough to get the ambitious and talented sous chef fired
when an influential food critic discovers dairy in Clem’s
butternut squash ravioli with garlic sage sauce. Though she
was sabotaged by a backstabbing coworker, Clem finds
herself unceremoniously blackballed from every vegan
kitchen in L.A.

Like any vegan chef worth her salt, however, Clem knows how
to turn lemons into delicious, cruelty-free lemonade
cupcakes. She launches the Skinny Bitch Cooking School in
hopes of soon opening her own café in an empty space near
her apartment. But on the first day of class, sexy
millionaire restaurateur Zach Jeffries puts a fork in her
idea with his own plans for the space—a steakhouse. Clem is
livid. For a carnivore, Zach is more complicated than she
anticipated. He’s also a very good kisser. But could dating
one of the most eligible bachelors in the city—and a
meat-eater—be as bad for Clem as high-fructose corn syrup?
Shouldn’t she fall instead for a man who seems to be her
perfect match in every way—like Alexander Orr, a very cute,
very sweet vegan chef?

Clem thought she was open-minded, but as she confronts the
challenges of budding entrepreneurship, old rivals,
ex-boyfriends, and tempting suitors, she begins to wonder if
she can ever say “I love you” to a man who hates tofu.
