Despre The Takeout carte
When a celebrity chef???s new restaurant threatens Mila???s family???s food truck, she plans to expose them for the recipe thieves they are???even if that means dabbling in the Filipino folk magic she???s tried to avoid. Fans of Tae Keller and Lily LaMotte will cheer for this charming story about food, family, and finding the place you belong.
Mila may have moved to Coral Beach months ago, but it still doesn???t feel like home. She wants to belong, but a few awkward incidents with her new friends make her wonder if she???ll ever neatly fit into the super-samey small town.
Mila feels the only place she can be herself is at her dad???s Filipino-Indian food truck, The Banana Leaf. But when celebrity chef twins the Fab Foodie Brothers open a restaurant nearby, it turns out the food they are serving is exactly the same as The Banana Leaf's--right down to the recipes!
Suspicious of the similarities, Mila teams up with family friend Ajay to investigate. She soon realizes that she needs to take the beloved Fab Foodie Brothers down before they run her family's tiny truck out of town. But that means dabbling in the Filipino folk healing and magical traditions that she has shied away from her whole life . . . as well as alienating her new friends.
Does Mila have to choose between her family and fitting in? Or, like the best recipes, will a blend of the traditional and the unexpected mix into something truly special?
