A fantastic short story collection exploring food scarcity, abundance, and mutations in a futuristic setting. I enjoyed a lot of the references some stories made to satire works, especially A Modest Proposal. My favorite was by far “Recipe From the Future” although I really enjoyed “Lorenzo and the Last Fig” as well! Thank you to the publisher, Dundurn Press and NetGalley for my advanced reader copy!
