Seven Recipes for Revolution is described as "a clever page-turner set in a unique and brutal world that will definitely leave you hungry for a second helping." —Jay Kristoff, Sunday Times bestselling author of Empire of the Vampire.

The tale expertly combines elements of The Bear and Attack on Titan in an exhilarating, food-based epic fantasy filled with high stakes and monster steaks—perfect for fans of Pierce Brown and Jay Kristoff.

Paprick is a common butcher, carving slabs of meat from gargantuan monsters so elite chefs can prepare magic-granting meals for the rich. However, his true passion lies in cooking. If he can learn the secret art, his dreams of liberating his people and sharing the monsters’ magic with the world could come true. To achieve this, he steals precious ingredients to practise recipes at home, but if he is caught, he faces execution.

As desperation mounts, Paprick ventures into the black market, uncovering a spice imported from unknown lands. By combining it with the last of his stolen meat, he cooks a dish the world has never tasted before, with unforeseen side-effects.

This magical dish causes Paprick to grow to kaiju-size, and legends of his powers spread among the people. The rulers swiftly arrest him, but he convinces them to make him a chef’s apprentice—if they ever wish to learn his Recipe. Yet, his exposure to the world of high cuisine reveals the rot at its centre, and with his newfound power, rebellion is only a few recipes away…
