The Ungarnished Truth: A Cooking Contest Memoir Ellie Mathews

A woman, a chicken dinner, a million dollars?and a romp through the heartland of America?s competitive cooking culture. When Ellie Mathews entered her Salsa Couscous Chicken in the venerable Pillsbury Bake-Off, she never imagined she?d win the grand prize. Immediately after Alex Trebek announced that her dish had won a million dollars, she was thrown into the limelight. Booked with Oprah and Rosie?even photographed for the New York Times in a vest made of ostrich feathers?she instantly became the reigning queen of chickendom, the Pillsbury ?It Girl? of the moment. With a dash of self-deprecating humor and a pinch of biting social commentary, Ellie takes readers on her roller coaster ride to the top of the food chain as the Pillsbury prizewinner. As a cooking contest insider, she goes behind the counter and beyond the aprons and oven mitts to reveal a fascinating slice of Americana.
