Description

A tale of youth, good intentions, and entomophagy, Meal is about Yarrow, a young woman determined to make her mark on the cutting edge of cookery with her insect-based creations. However, her evangelist streak concerning insect cuisine rubs some of her fellow chefs the wrong way... particularly Chandra Flores, member of a culture that's been eating bugs for centuries, and deeply suspicious of this young white woman's intentions to turn her traditions into the next big foodie trend.

Can Yarrow win over Chandra... and Milani, the neighbour she's been crushing on for weeks?
