HOT LUNCH: Alex Bradley: Dutton: Young Adult: 2007
When Molly and Cassie cause the head of the school kitchen staff to quit, they are placed in charge of the kitchen and can only end their service there when the food they serve is better than their predecessor's. Some of the recipes that Molly, Cassie, and their dessert chef, Clyde, prepare are included (the author has also written several cookbooks under a different name). The story advocates for better, locally produced food for schools and individuals, which gets a little heavy-handed toward the end of the book, but this remains an enjoyable teen read that includes friendship, romance, humor, and a plug for social responsibility.
