Book Overview

The last thing on Soup's to-do list is to make waves at the restaurant she works at, but when she discovers her boss's villainous grip over her beloved town, she decides it's time to dismantle his power--and what better way than a cooking competition? This graphic novel is an empowering story about taking risks, finding your voice, and being brave enough to stand up for friends.

At seventeen, Soup is at a crossroads, eager to make her mark on the world, yet reluctant to leave the restaurant she calls home--the place where she was found as a baby, the place where she grew up, the place where she learned to cook. It's only when her elven boss snaps at her that she begins to see his pattern of abuse, starting in the kitchen and extending all across town. Something's got to give, and the answer is simple: a cooking competition for the restaurant.

If Soup wins, she'll claim the business and protect her village from destructive expansion. But if she loses, she'll have to leave her home and stand by as the food community she loves is razed to the ground. With friends and chosen family rallying around her, Soup has a chance to win. Yet, everyone knows villains don't fight fair, and this restauranteur is not going to give up his throne so easily . . .

About Oliver Gerlach

Oliver Gerlach is a writer, escaped chef, and doctor of classics, living and working in Edinburgh, Scotland. His work can be found in places including 2000 AD's Mega City Max and the GLAAD and Ringo award-winning anthology Young Men In Love. On the rare occasions when he is not writing, Oliver can be found teaching and selling board and role-playing games. He still can't quite believe he gets to do both of these for a living. He probably spends too much time in the kitchen too. Off Menu is his debut graphic novel.
