Disasterchef
Betty and Ffiona cooking dinner? Run for your lives!
Betty and her friend FFiona love cooking. The trouble is, they are both so useless at it that their families make themselves ill just to avoid their meals.It isn't that their families are too kind to tell the girls how bad their cooking is - they actually tell them all the time. But Betty and Ffiona don't believe them, and now the girls are planning to open Transylvania Waters's first gourmet restaurant.
Queen Mordonna forbids them . . . unless they can prove their cooking skills by winning TV's most popular cooking contest. Will they poison all the judges, or will The Cheffie Olympics be Betty and Ffiona's finest hour?

I think I should probably have read books 1-10 first! So I was amused, but I think I'd be more amused if I'd begun at the beginning.

I read this book mainly because I have read all the other ones and I was pretty desperate to read something because lately there hasn't been much to read. The book tells the story of Betty and Ffiona wanting to open their own restaurant however they both really suck at it the make things like lemonade with warts in it. Mordonna doesn't want her daughter, Betty, opening a restaurant so she tells her if she wants to open one she has to win the cheffie Olympics. Will she win and get the chance to possible kill many people with her cooking? Or will Mordonna suppress her dreams make her daughter hate her?
