ZIN MIGNON
|
A frolicking trip to the pantry! Incredibly, the greatest Chef in the world is only 13 years old. He's Zin Mignon, the spectacular culinary mastermind who lives at the intersection of fantasy, laughs, gripping mystery, inspiration and humanity.
The four-book Series kicks off in the pathetic family Brooklyn deli where young Zin clutches a secret note from his dying dad. The cryptic words set Zin on a world-spinning quest, an adventure that takes him through the alleys of the homeless to the tables of billionaires, to discover who he really is and the greatness for which he's destined.
Is it a spoof on the celebrity Chef phenomenon? Or a sophisticated, inspirational and twisting mystery? Book One chronicles Zin's astonishing apprenticeship, where he's kidnapped from Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris by the mysterious Mustard Monks and spirited away to the Monks' ultra-remote mountaintop abbey, where they worship food. They also show Zin the world's greatest cooking secrets. But why in the world are they showing Zin? That's the question both Zin and his comically materialistic mother will ask, over and over, as they strive to learn his shocking family legacy.
Soon enough, Zin shocks the cooking world. After all, despite a host of envious and evil detractors, he's become the greatest Chef on the planet. As billionaires send private jets for take-out, supermodels, celebrities and European royalty scramble to sit at his tables. Ah… but Zin's just a kid. He's easily distracted. Besides, he made a solemn promise to his dad -- to learn the incredible secret of his family legacy.
Find out why ZIN was seen on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS. It's truly original, perfect for foodies and mystery lovers of all ages. A wonderful (and clean!) Series for kids who cook, or their parents and grandparents, who cook with their kids. Never to be taken too seriously; but maybe so. How 'bout all these amazing exploits? And the heartfelt compassion? High concept fiction is here, hiding under the tablecloth!
Book Two finds Zin in the challenge of his life, with his culinary empire on the ropes.
Book Three has the nay-sayers and evil-doers catching up.
Book Four solves all the mysteries, reveals who Zin really is, and what his family legacy is all about. The ending is, to say the least, nothing short of a shocker and a revelation. "How did he ever think of that?"
A Series of Magical Realism, full of pop-culture, twists and turns, laughs and tears. We ask… why can't a 13 year old be the greatest Chef in the world? Why can't every child be great at something? This Series shows you how! Try a nibble or two! Delicious kitchen-fiction.
