Eighth-grader Anjali loves to create new recipes when she's not working in her family's roti shop. Knowing that it will disappoint her Trinidadian parents, Anjali auditions for a television cooking show instead of taking the Stuyvesant High School entrance exam. Ganeshram's protagonist is modern and passionate; the Trinidadian recipes (interspersed throughout) tastefully bridge Anjali's two worlds.
