I love this author's style, and this is my fav type of scifi: a group (all different personalities, skills, and races... one resembles a squid, another is a prophet like a batle mage, there is also the pastry master) trying to not be in the spotlight, but working together to turn their restaurant into an awarded one ends in a bio ship, the mist expensive ship, on a mission filled with action. The sentient ship Thing (named by her past owner as You Sexy Thing ). They end up being kidnapped by a nasty pirate who has a mean grudge against Niko the Captain, and it seems they won't survive.
Action, humor, a sentient ship learning human emotions from this unique crew, good food, adventure, space traveling, surviving vengeance, violence, torture, fear, and a very satisfying end. 
Binging this trilogy
