ZIN MIGNON and the RIDDLE of the RUSSIAN RYE

Book excerpt: Find out why ZIN was seen on CNN, FOX, CBS, NBC, etc! From the filthy streets of Brooklyn to the glam of Beverly Hills, 13 year old chef extraordinaire Zin Mignon serves a parade of royalty, celebrities and supermodels. As the Mustard Monks lurk in the alleys and dry rump roast sits on the counter, young Zin is the greatest Chef in the country. But, more than anything, Zin wants to learn where he came from; exactly what is Zin’s cryptic ancestry? So why is the sizzling sensation of the Sunset Strip cooking for the homeless on skid row? And why are so many rivals trying to take him down? Why is evil restaurant critic Brandy Bitterwine roasting Zin with… zero stars! With the help of Avalina, the brilliant 22-year old business manager, and his swim-teammate Jenny, Zin must fight to learn his family history that may not be entirely appetizing. Is it related to the secret of his incredible Russian Rye? While his fans rave, the vile scoundrels are closing in. Zin’s fragile artistic temperament is pushed to the boiling point until Jenny has a brilliant idea, but will it work? Little do they know they’ll face the ultimate challenge which could shut down Zin’s kitchen forever. The second in the series, RIDDLE of the RUSSIAN RYE
