Masterchef in Space! A fun, satirical, thought-provoking novel by the critically-acclaimed author of The Ten-Percent Thief Looking for your one shot to rise to the “top of the pots” in the cutthroat world of interstellar cuisine? Look no further—you might have what it takes to be an Interstellar MegaChef! Stepping off a long-haul star freighter from Earth, Saras Kaveri has one bag of clothes, her little flying robot Kili… and an invitation to compete in the galaxy’s most watched, most prestigious cooking show. Interstellar MegaChef is the showcase of the planet Primus’s austere, carefully synthesised cuisine. No-one from Earth—where they’re so incredibly primitive they still cook with fire—has ever graced its flowmetal cookstations before, or smiled awkwardly for its buzzing drone-cams. Until now. Corporate prodigy Serenity Ko, inventor of the smash-hit sim SoundSpace, has just got messily drunk at a floating bar, narrowly escaped an angry mob and been put on two weeks’ mandatory leave to rest and get her work-life balance back. Perfect time to start a new project! And she’s got just the idea: a sim for food. Now she just needs someone to teach her how to cook. A chance meeting in the back of a flying cab has Saras and Serenity Ko working together on a new technology that could change the future of food—and both their lives—forever…

In an effort to break free from her parents, Saraswati joins the galaxy wide show Interstellar Megachef. Things get complicated when she gets swept up in a programmer‘s dream of simulated food.

This really shouldn‘t have been marketed as Masterchef in space. The show takes place over less than 10%. There are some interesting discussions of simulation & manipulating the brain, & what food really means, but this tried to do too much.🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

ChaoticMissAdventures what a bummer the premise sounds so promising. ✅ 7h

Started my day by scrolling through a list of most anticipated queer books for this fall, and was absolutely thrilled to see a novel with a premise similar to one of my favorite comics of all time, Space Battle Lunchtime. SAY LESS, I‘M IN!
