Book Description

November 10, 2009 K and upKitchen Princess (Book 11)
For all the fans who can’t get enough of the smash hit manga Kitchen Princess–a thrilling new prose story of romance and adventure!

Najika faces a new challenge, and it may be her toughest one yet. Before their tragic accident, her parents, both famous pastry chefs, made a promise to the grandmother of a classmate of Najika’s: to duplicate a white cake the elderly woman once tasted abroad as a teenager. Now Najika hopes to re-create the cake herself.

With so few clues (it’s fluffy and heavenly) and so many possibilities, the trial and error might just go on forever. But Najika refuses to give up–for one reason: She knows that all great masterpieces contain a distinct magic: a secret ingredient called love.

Najika will need lots of it to make the wishes of Anju’s grandmother–and certain other classmates–come true. And who knows? With so much amour in the air, Najika might just find a little left over for herself!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lighthearted, absorbing read, February 26, 2010
This review is from: Kitchen Princess: Search for the Angel Cake (Paperback)
Najika is a teenage girl with an extraordinary talent for baking. While catering

for a party for a fellow classmate, she discovers her friend's grandmother was a

friend of her deceased parents. Najika's parents, before their tragic accident,

promised the grandmother that they would recreate a cake that the woman had

tasted in her childhood in another country. Now that Najika's parents are gone,

she is determined to find the mysterious cake recipe for the old woman. The

only problem is she is left with so little clues.

Kitchen Princess: Search for the Angel Cake is a companion novel to the Manga, Kitchen

Princess, so therefore if a person has not read the series, it could be quite

hard to understand the story plot. The story is also Japanese, so readers must

keep in mind the cultural differences that differ between the East and the West.

Getting past that, this was a lighthearted, absorbing read that made me want to

jump up onto my feet and start baking. In between chapters, there were easy

instructional visual directions on how to make desserts that were prepared in

the book, including a scrumptious Angel Food Cake that I made myself! This

book would be for a younger age group (9-11) and does not have complicated

vocabulary, but it kept me thoroughly interested.
