Hungry Hearts: 13 Tales of Food & Love by Elsie Chapman
3.0
it’s been a long time since i picked up a compilation book and i have been in the right mood to read hungry hearts, so here are some reviews/impressions of my favorite stories! (not a spoiler free)
- rain by sangu mandanna
i loved the message the author conveyed and honestly it was quite touching despite that it was only delivered through a very short story. the conversation between the characters were somehow funny and pure while still moving and heartwarming. this story really did make me want to eat coorg pandhi curry — with the right amount of kachampuli, of course!
- kings and queens by elsie chapman
OH MY GOD?? A WORLD OF SECRET SOCIETIES BEHIND AN ORDINARY RESTAURANT ??? I’M VERY HOOKED FOR THIS HELLO??????? i thought this book would only be filled with lighthearted and cute stories featured with lots of delicious food references but holy crap. not complaining though!
- the grand ishq adventure by sandhya menon
aaaaaa been meaning to read sandhya menon’s books and i think i’m already in love with the writings? i have exactly predicted the plot but anyway!!
- ten missing ingredients by rebecca roanhorse
GOODNESS. WOW??? OK?? NO THOUGHTS HEAD EMPTY??????????
- hearts à la carte by karuna riazi
HAHA okay so apparently after witches and secret societies and other magical things, now it’s time for superhero slash muslim wonder boy who falls from the stars to join the gang. i was having so much fun while reading this lmao.
- a bountiful film by s.k. ali
it was a bit of mystery, and i can say that this book really has a great mix of different genres and their own uniqueness. i really love how the characters from another author will appear as a supporting characters and interact with the mc in the story, like in here hania meets neha from the grand ishq adventure. so in love with these interconnected short stories.
