YA
Teen foodie Linda goes to live with a distant relative: a local celebrity chef who specializes in canned goods. By book's end Linda learns to appreciate her foster family (despite dissing them on her food blog), and even begins to appreciate canned cooking. No surprises in the story line itself, but the details therein are creative.
