Synopsis
Cyril Bartholomew isn't exactly everyone's idea of a dream date¾he's a little on the heavy side. Not that he gets pushed around or anything, but it does cause him to keep one very important secret from everyone: he loves too cook. The only person who knows this secret is his best friend, Nick. Nick is just about the opposite of Cyril-he's a really attractive track star who is cool in a rebellious sort of way. Cyril has never been jealous of Nick, though. . .until the day that Nick decides he is interested in Rose Mulligan, Cyril's long-time secret crush. Flavor of the Week is a classic love triangle between three very unclassic teens, with lots of delicious food courses in between.

From Booklist
Gr. 8-10. The Iron Chef meets Cyrano de Bergerac in this flossy romantic comedy about Cyril Bartholomew, an overweight cooking prodigy, whose two top-secret passions --food and a girl named Rose--land him in a love triangle. It all begins when Cyril's handsome best friend decides to woo Rose, a crunchy-granola type who finds men in aprons irresistible, by passing off Cyril's culinary creations as his own. Figuring this may be his only chance to cook for his love, Cyril loyally goes along with the ruse. Unfortunately, the resulting turmoil imperils his audition at a prestigious culinary institute. In the end, good-hearted Cyril earns a spot at the institute by serving up simple, honest food, and he gets the girl through a similar approach. Though the subsidiary characters are underdeveloped, Cyril is a charismatic hero whose mixture of kitchen machismo and relationship timidity will endear him to readers--even those more interested in pepperoni pizza than "Carmelized Onion Paste with Shaved Truffles" (one of 25 dishes for which recipes are provided).
