Stir it Up!: a novel by Ramin Ganeshram

2 Aloo pies, 1 Fried Channa and 3 Shrimp Burger Pitas!  Anjali works in her family's kitchen, Island Spice in Queens, New York.  She has always dreamed of her own Food Network show!  She takes classes at a Culinary School in Manhattan and he chef Nyla thinks she has star quality!  When Anjali gets a chance to get on a Food Network show called "Super Chef Kids" she hops on the idea.  One problem, it's on the same day as the Stuyvesant test, an exam you must take to get into their high school.  The tests are on the same day and same time as the tryouts for the cooking show.  Will Anjali go for the chance of a life time or obey her parents?
