Her assignment is to review Classy Cakes, a dessert restaurant in New York City.
Through a series of misunderstandings, she is then offered a job as a freelance food critic at the New York Standard newspaper. Soon after, she enters an essay contest in which she details her future life as a food critic. By some miracle, she doesn’t burn the house down, but her parents punish her with strict rules which include no more cooking and nothing more to do with food. Unfortunately, she sets the kitchen curtains on fire. One night when Gladys is alone, she gets out her dad’s blowtorch to put the finishing touches on her Crème Brulee. In fact, they don’t know even know about all the cooking Gladys does on her own. Much to Gladys’s dismay, they eat take out every night and never turn on the stove – they only use the microwave. Gladys Gatsby is only twelve years old but she loves to cook! She enjoys fine foods from around the world, and shops at a gourmet grocery store.
