Bookroo's summary

Curtis Pith dreams of becoming a chef and meeting his long-lost father, Lucas Taylor, host of Super Chef. When a kids-only season is announced, Curtis seizes the chance to compete and uncover the truth. But as he navigates the high-stakes competition in New York, unexpected challenges arise. Can Curtis cook his way to victory and finally connect with his father, or will the pressure prove too much? The final challenge holds the key to his dreams and the answers he seeks.

From the publisher

Family and food take center stage in this heartfelt middle grade story perfect for fans of John David Anderson and Antony John. For as long as he can remember, Curtis Pith has been obsessed with becoming a chef like Lucas Taylor, host of Super Chef. And Curtis has a secret: Taylor is actually his long-absent father. So when Taylor announces a kids-only season of Super Chef, Curtis finally sees his chance to meet his dad. But after Curtis wins a spot in the competition and arrives in New York to film the show, nothing goes as smoothly as he expected. It’s all riding on the last challenge. If Curtis cooks his heart out like he knows he can, he just might go home with the top prize–and the truth.
