Test Kitchen is set on a single evening in 2013 at Midgard, a
Michelin-starred East London restaurant. Our narrator is Marley, a
20 year-old Melbourne-born waitress who's come to London to escape
her past and is glad to have found a kind of family among the
'brigade' at Midgard. Like any family, however, it's dysfunctional,
and Marley's youth and rootlessness put her at risk. A violent
event leaves her a spectre observing events - incorporeal in a
robustly physical, embodied space - and seeking to put things
right. It's a gripping, funny and often macabre story about the
culture of food, of dining and eating, about feeding and
nourishing, about mothers, mortality and magic. Sparked by the
author's experience of glancing around a busy restaurant and
wishing he could eavesdrop on conversations at other tables, Test
Kitchen interweaves an overall storyline with short narratives
focusing on diners eating with friends, family, dates, business
associates, partners or - most intriguingly - all alone.
