”A meal could contain so many things he couldn’t say, every bite a way to travel through time.”
”A recipe could tell you who someone had been, what they had loved, the things that sustained them. It was a way for others to carry them along, to bring them back, to keep them close once they had gone. A way to never really die.”
This is one of the most unique books I’ve ever read and it was a five-star read less than 50 pages in.
This was a fantastic read and I LOVE how the concept was executed!! I could not have predicted how much I would love this book, but it quickly became a new favorite of mine.
While the food descriptions were a big part of this book, the characters and their relationships play an equally as important role in making this book what it is. Getting to see their relationships blossom and grow on the page was nothing short of amazing. The ending absolutely gutted me, but it was so fitting for the book.
This book is so many things in one—it’s a story about love, grief, how food can connect us with others and bring back memories, and the dangers that can accompany the supernatural/spiritual world. It’s also a love letter to New York City and its culinary scene.
This is one that I can see many readers enjoying, even if it’s not in their typical genre. It’s just so good!!!

Aftertaste was a unique read that I devoured in practically one sitting on a beach day. While the horror element didn’t totally grip me, the premise itself was enough to hold my attention. The mix of food and the people you’ve loved and lost is such a vivid theme and honestly, for so many of us, food is how we remember people. This book plays on that idea to the nth degree. I’d happily recommend it to anyone into light horror, food, and gritty, emotional themes.
