Review
“The narrator of O’Keefe’s appealingly outlandish novel is an aspiring young chef who prepares extravagant meals for his workaholic actuary father and his eccentric mother. . . . A soupcon of silliness and hefty helpings of genuine humor will whet the appetites of young readers who crave light yet satisfying fare.”—"Publishers Weekly"
“This novel cooks along at a rolling boil. . . . Bertie’s turmoil as he works through issues of self-esteem and identity are well done. O’Keefe keeps the comic tension simmering through slightly improbable yet entertaining plot twists and tosses in lots of great food info in the process. Serve this one up to readers looking for a laugh.”—"School Library Journal"
