Hardcover. Zustand: Collectible-Very Good. I, for one, have piled enough skyscraper salads to be given some consideration. I?m not working my way up the kitchen ladder for my goddamn health. I know all too well the sting of vinegar in an open cut. Oh yes, that salad you?re eating as a light appetizer? My bare hands have massaged dressing into every leaf. Lettuce loves me.

But Layla refuses to settle for anything short of true love and success, and she ultimately finds both where she least expects them. Hannah McCouch?s fresh and animated voice leaps off the pages of Girl Cook, a deliciously modern Cinderella story of love, sex, chefs, and the city.…
