The Heat Is On

Written by Charise Mericle Harper

The competition heats up in book two of this zesty series for fans of kids' cooking competitions!

With this book's theme of family and tradition, from a diner challenge to a quinceañera to the farmer's market, the junior chefs will have to saute their way through the chewiest challenges yet. They're the best in the nation, but can they handle the twists and turnovers week two has in store, on- and off-camera? Which junior chefs can stand the heat? And which one will need to get out of the kitchen? We are one episode closer to discovering just who will earn the title of Next Best Junior Chef.
