1798 Bucharest: A magical, dark adventure A year full of intrigue
and political machinations: a slave-chef lives in Bucharest, sought
after by everyone. His cooking is sublime, satisfying even the
sophisticated tastes of the Prince, who steals him from his
rightful owner and installs him in the Palace. However, no one
knows that the chef has in his possession a witch's recipe book:
the Book of Perilous Dishes. The recipes in this magical book can
bring about damaging sincerity, forgetfulness, the gift of
prediction, or hysterical laughter. And the rightful owner of this
book is fourteen-year-old Patca, initiated in the occult arts.
Patca comes to Bucharest, to her uncle, Cuviosu Zaval, to recover
this book, but she finds him murdered and the Book of Perilous
Dishes has disappeared without trace. All that Zaval has left her
is a strange map she must decipher. Travelling from Romania to
France and on to Germany to do so, Patca's family's true past and
powers are revealed, as is her connection to Silica the cook...
