MY FIREND JULIE HYZY, author of State of the Onion, has another winner with Hail to the Chef, the continuing story of Ollie Paras, new White House chef who finds herself involved in some very high voltage murders.
In Chef, Ollie has to balance the White House Christmas holiday menus with the First Lady’s attempt at matchmaking, and a terrorist plot. All happening while Ollie is under pressure from a senator’s office to rig a gingerbread man decorating contest. Ollie realizes something is up after the unlikely death of a White House electrician in an apparent on-the-job accident and the sudden death of the First Lady’s nephew which is at first ruled a suicide.
A good read with a unique bonus: twenty three pages of recipes for appetizers fit for a commander-in-chief.
