FOOD WHORE
A Novel of Dining and Deceit
Jessica Tom
Releasing Oct 27th, 2015
William Morrow
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.
