"Delicious!," by Ruth Reichl
This light and yummy audiobook, perfect for summer, stars Billie Breslin, a college dropout with an aversion to cooking who heads to New York and a job at a gourmet food magazine. Reichl, though occasionally over the top, depicts Manhattan and its kitchens in great sensory detail. Narrator Whelan has a vivacious, energetic style. Grade: B+
