Bucharest, 1798, a year brimming with intrigue and political machinations. At the pinnacle of culinary excellence, Master chef Silica reigns supreme, his creations sought after by all who savor the exquisite.

When 14-year-old Pâtca, steeped in the occult arts, embarks on a mission to recover her family's recipe book, she uncovers a shocking truth: her uncle has been brutally murdered, and a mysterious map lies in her possession, its secrets waiting to be unraveled. Determined to find the truth, Pâtca sets forth on a perilous journey that spans Romania, France, and Germany. Along the way, her adventure unveils family secrets that intertwine with history, weave magic, and unite destinies. Written by the acclaimed author of contemporary Romanian literature, Doina Rusti, and skillfully translated by Bucharest-based English professor, James Christian Brown, The Book of Perilous Dishes is a captivating tale that will leave readers spellbound.
