“Written as a series of charming and hilarious diary entries, this novel is a fantastic blend of Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones’s Diary, Nora Ephron’s Heartburn, and the humor of Molly Harper, Janet Evanovich, and Emily Henry. Perfect for foodies who love a bit of fun, hijinks, and romance.” — Library Journal, starred review“I simply devoured this delicious debut of a novel! Amy’s signature wit shines through in this quintessential mid-20s stumbling journey of romance, friendship, and every delectable bite that ties it all together.” — Mary Berg, cookbook author and host of The Good Stuff with Mary Berg“[This] was such an entertaining book, and it was a pleasure to read a foodie fictional piece where the dishes, places, and culinary terms are actually accurate! A delicious way to daringly dine and swoon from the comfort of your cozy chair.” — Anna Olson, pastry chef & cookbook author“Rosen pens the most important chapter of any young chef’s life with all the understanding of your best friend. Laughter, tears, and too much wine will keep you captivated in the lives of Ruthie, Trish, and Lilly. Coupled with wisdom from beyond, we can all learn from Ruthie’s grandmother’s sage advice and pine for her generosity. Off Menu is a must-read for anyone who knows someone who cooks. Hilariously accurate, it brings Canadiana to the stage when we need it most. When God Was a Rabbit meets The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, Rosen takes us on a journey full of wisdom and diminishing accounts. With Bubbe Bobby Grace, we can be heroes, just for one day.” — Kyla Kennaley, pastry chef and judge on The Great Canadian Baking Show“A delicious romp! The cooking is as irresistible as the love story. An exhilarating peek behind the doors of culinary school, filled with passion, purpose, and puff pastry.” — Olivia Potts, author of A Half Baked Idea“What a wonderful and delicious debut novel! This read like a breath of fresh air, and I absolutely loved how reminiscent it was of Bridget Jones’s Diary. So much heart and so much good food!” — Jamie Varon, author of Main Character Energy
