Seven Recipes for Revolution

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 VampireTremendously unique; what fantasy needs at the moment. – Richard Swan, author of the Empire of the Wolf seriesSeven Recipes for Revolution is compelling, riotous, and utterly fresh! The delightful food-based magic is so unlike anything I’ve ever read in fantasy, and contrasts beautifully with a harsh, blood-soaked world of rigid social rules. Rose writes with an incisive eye that critiques issues of class and politics; the story is in direct conversation with many dark academia tropes, without ever being subsumed by them. Queer love, chef kings, giant monsters, and magical steaks—brilliant stuff! – Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book EatersSeven Recipes for Revolution has all the loving familiarity of classic fantasy in its bones to make a savory stock from, and delivers it with all the comfort of a home cooked meal. Ryan Rose’s debut is sure to whet your appetite with its cooking-based magic system, and please your palate with how its courses are served. If you enjoy good food, classic fantasy feeling, and charming nods to the culinary, this is for you. – R.R. Virdi, author of the Tales of Tremaine seriesSeven Recipes for Revolution is a pulpy, bloody blend of Red Rising, Attack on Titan, and Iron Chef with a splash of delectably detailed magic. – J.T. Greathouse, author of the Pact and Pattern seriesRyan Rose’s Seven Recipes for Revolution stirs together a fascinating magic system, a fully realized world, giant kaiju, and a gritty, conflicted main character, combining them into a consuming story with the same care and attention as a delicious chocolate soufflé. – Clay Harmon, author of the Rift Walker seriesVivid, vibrant and visceral, Seven Recipes for Revolution weaves a thrilling tale of twisting loyalties and revolutionary carnage through the gleefully unreliable narration of Paprick the Butcher. Rose’s writing thrums with texture, taste and pointed humour, delivering a sensory feast with a jagged edge and a delicate seasoning of social conscience. And let’s not forget the magical, delicious, monstrous kaiju! – David Wragg, author of the Articles of Faith seriesIf you loved Babel but wished it had more kaiju, this book is for you. Rose has created a fresh new world with a sensory explosion of scents and tastes, the flavors lingering long after I put the book down. – Amber A. Logan, author of The Secret Garden of Yanagi InnHugely original while also comfortingly familiar, Seven Recipes for Revolution is a delectable feast of wildly unique worldbuilding and page turning twists. – Frances White, Sunday Times bestselling author of Voyage of the Damned
