On the Back Burner

It's Chinese New Year, and Peichi couldn't be more excited. But when Peichi becomes too swept up in the festivities, her schoolwork—and Dish—suffers. And when the flu hits, all of the Chef Girls are out of commission! Can the girls of Dishfigure out a way to keep their business running smoothly?

Things are heating up for the sixth-graders' cooking business when they get their biggest job yet while Peichi is busy preparing for her family's Chinese New Year celebration and all the rest of the girls come down with the flu. Includes recipes for brownies, chicken parmigiana, and fortune cookies.
