From the publisher

Hank Watson enjoys helping his basketball team win big games. However, his true passion is cooking. Hank doesn’t tell his team that he likes to cook because he’s afraid they’ll make fun of him. When an opportunity arises to meet celebrity chef Brenton Spooner, Hank jumps at the chance. But while practicing a difficult dish to impress his idol, he accidentally burns his hand. The injury isn’t serious, but it affects his performance both on the court and in the kitchen.
