Really strange book. The combination of recipes and magical realism is very unique and was pleasant to read 

I just feel the topic and themes are not modern enough for me to appreciate. translated fiction can be quite odd through, so maybe this is a personal fault. Still, it's an oddly pleasant read, but not amazing.
