A sinister cook, a cursed cake, and a casual dinner between neighbours that goes murderously wrong. This collection of culinary mysteries ascends the jagged culinary heights you’ve hungered to explore but could never find on a map: a family business that depends on a cursed recipe, a remote mountain village harbouring a suspicious cook, a house ghost with a peculiar appetite. As the characters swoon over every unforgettable mouthful and sometimes bite off more than they can chew, you’ll find yourself asking: What would I be willing to pay for the meal of a lifetime? Fourteen short stories and thirteen recipes will chill, thrill and entertain. They range from thrillers and mysteries to ghost stories. If feasting on culinary noir leaves you hungry, extend your pleasure by preparing the dishes featured in the stories. Most recipes are vegetarian. All recipes provided are cyanide-free.
