Giveaway: Hungry: What Eighty Ravenous Guys Taught Me about Life, Love and the Power of Good Food by Darlene Barnes

Thanks to Sarah Gallo, summer intern of Hyperion Books, I am giving away one print copy of Hungry.

Book Description:

Darlene Barnes’ memoir, HUNGRY: What Eighty Ravenous Guys Taught Me about Life, Love, and the Power of Good Food (on sale August 6, 2013), is based on her personal experience as the female chef of a frat house, Alpha Sig, at the University of Washington, Seattle. Offering fresh food, tough love and largely unsolicited advice to her college age customers, Barnes realizes that these “frat boys” are hungry not only for good food, but for the kind of care and attention previously absent from meals.

Laugh-out-loud funny and poignant, HUNGRY offers a female perspective on the real lives of young men, tells a tale of a woman’s determined struggle to find purpose, and explores the many ways that food feeds us.
