210 pages Summary: Eleven-year-old Matty Swink desperately wants to be a famous chef and escape Fenella's Food Fort, the miserable diner where he is the live-in dish washer. One day, the King of Yurp announces a grand Cook-off. Whoever creates a dish so delicious that even the pernickety Princess Meg cant refuse, will be crowned the new Royal Chef. Matty will do anything to win, but little does he know that success can leave an awfully foul taste in your mouth ... especially when the main ingredient is a 500-year-old curse! (Back cover)
