From
the coauthor of the phenomenal #1 New York Times bestselling Skinny
Bitch lifestyle series—a clever, kick-ass novel about friendship, romance,
and making healthy choices both in and out of the kitchen.
Clementine Cooper is a born vegan, committed in every way to the healthy lifestyle she was raised with on her father’s organic farm. But how bad could a little butter be? Bad enough to get the ambitious and talented sous chef fired when an influential food critic discovers dairy in Clem’s butternut squash ravioli with garlic sage sauce. Though she was sabotaged by a backstabbing coworker, Clem finds herself unceremoniously blackballed from every vegan kitchen in L.A.

Though she was sabotaged by a backstabbing coworker, Clem finds herself unceremoniously blackballed from every vegan kitchen in L.A.
Like
any vegan chef worth her salt, however, Clem knows how to turn lemons into
delicious, cruelty-free lemonade cupcakes. She launches the Skinny Bitch
Cooking School in hopes of soon opening her own café in an empty space near her
apartment. But on the first day of class, sexy millionaire restaurateur Zach
Jeffries puts a fork in her idea with his own plans for the space—a steakhouse.
Clem is livid. For a carnivore, Zach is more complicated than she anticipated.
He’s also a very good kisser. But could dating one of the most eligible
bachelors in the city—and a meat-eater—be as bad for Clem as high-fructose corn
syrup? Shouldn’t she fall instead for a man who seems to be her perfect match
in every way—like Alexander Orr, a very cute, very sweet vegan chef?
Clem thought she was open-minded, but as she confronts the challenges of budding entrepreneurship, old rivals, ex-boyfriends, and tempting suitors, she begins to wonder if she can ever say “I love you” to a man who hates tofu.

He didn’t need to know that until I discovered Frizz-Ease as a fourteen-year-old, I also had Bellatrix Lestrange’s hair, only blond.
Clementine Cooper was raised on a fully organic farm, by her parents, and as a result of that she has full appreciation for vegan food and keeping your body clean. In this novel we follow Clementine as she gets fired from an elite chef position at the popular restaurant, Fresh, and then pursues her lifelong dream of opening her own restaurant, Clementine’s No Crap Café. At first she panics at the idea of being without a job, but with the help of her friends she realizes that there are other things she can do to put her cooking talents to use. But when a new restaurant moves in right across the street from her apartment, the place where she planned to open her own business, she becomes furious. Not to mention the name of this new restaurant is called, The Silver Steer, and will be serving the types of food that she has sworn off for life.
