The narration adds more personality to the restaurant and characters. This book is well written and is an interesting blend of characterisation and culinary knowledge.

I read this book first as it was my first encounter with the series. I immediately had to go and find the first 2 books! It is so light-hearted, cozy, and I love that the setting is contained to the restaurant. This (and the previous books in the series) are the perfect size for a long car ride or an afternoon of cleaning. The low stakes element was beautiful as well - you felt some of the tension in the book but it was at a level where you felt invested in the characters but it wasn't heavy hitting.

This is such a magical (literally and figuratively) series! I love the blending of cookery and politics in the magical/mundane worlds. The characters are such a wonderful mixture of personalities and mythologies, and the ongoing storylines are as engaging as the daily meals presented in the books. I really liked the introduction of Damian to the storyline and am curious to see where things go with him. The political situation appears to be building in tension also, which makes for a nicely anticipatory element.

The narration is really excellent and definitely adds to my enjoyment of the series. I have not tried reading any of the books so far, only listening, and I've not felt like I was missing out on any details (which is often the case when I listen compared to read).

Delightful novella set during one night at a magical restaurant. The chef makes different, creative dishes and no night is the same. But tonight is tapas using leftovers from previous creations. We get descriptions of cooking the food and the tastes, which sound amazing. But there are also political and magical machinations happening among the dinner guests. And the new busboy seems to have a mysterious past. Fun cozy fantasy and a quick read! The audio narration is done well. I received an audio review copy via NetGalley, all opinions are my own.
