Chaotic Apéritifs

By Tao Wong
Chaotic Apéritifs by Tao Wong digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The Only Constant with Magic is Change.

 

Mo Meng is reminded of that fact once again, as the Nameless Restaurant faces a new challenge. Magic and its old wielders are returning to the world. For the restaurant, wards of anonymity and camouflage are fading, leading to the arrival of new customers. And some older friends.

 

What started as a way to pass the decades and feed a few customers has become actual work.

 

The world is changing, and to face it, the Nameless Restaurant, along with its proprietor and patrons, will need to embrace the change with a good meal and new friends.

 

Chaotic Apéritifs is the second standalong novella in the Hidden Dishes series, a cozy cooking fantasy perfect for fans of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes and Junpei Inuzuka's Restaurant to Another World. Written by bestselling author Tao Wong, his other series include the System Apocalypse, A Thousand Li, Climbing the Ranks, Hidden Wishes and Adventures on Brad series.

Slightly Smiling Face“Not much "happens" in this book, but the ordinariness and mindfulness of it, even if the chef is a mage, is what I find appealing. Of all the things that a hundreds of years old wizard could be doing, he chooses to cook for people, magical and mundane, and he does it with a reverence for ingredients and process that simulaneously makes me feel peaceful, and gives me something to aspire to. Of course, I'm a sucker for any books with food in them, and the descriptions of the dishes are mouth-watering. I think many of us dream of being a regular at a place like this, just as many of us wish for a magical bookshop around the corner.”
