About this listen

Paprick is a common butcher, carving slabs of meat from gargantuan monsters so elite chefs can prepare magic-granting meals for the rich. But Paprick's true passion is cooking, and if he can learn the secret art, his dreams of liberating his people and sharing the monsters' magic with the world could come true. He steals the precious ingredients needed to practise recipes at home, but if he's caught, he'll be executed.

As his desperation grows, he ventures into the black market and uncovers a spice imported from unknown lands. Combining it with the last of his stolen meat, he cooks a dish the world has never tasted before, with side effects he couldn't have foreseen.

The dish's magic grows Paprick to kaiju-size, and legends of his powers spread among the people. Immediately, the rulers arrest him, but Paprick convinces them to make him a chef's apprentice – if they ever want to learn his recipe. However, his exposure to the world of high cuisine reveals the rot at its centre, and with his new power, rebellion is only a few recipes away ...

Critic Reviews

'Tremendously unique; what fantasy needs at the moment.' (Richard Swan, author of the Empire of the Wolf series)
'Seven Recipes for Revolution has all the loving familiarity of classic fantasy in its bones to make a savory stock from, and delivers it with all the comfort of a home cooked meal. Ryan Rose's debut is sure to whet your appetite with its cooking-based magic system, and please your palate with how its courses are served. If you enjoy good food, classic fantasy feeling, and charming nods to the culinary, this is for you.' (R.R. Virdi, author of the Tales of Tremaine series)
'Seven Recipes for Revolution is a pulpy, bloody blend of Red Rising, Attack on Titan, and Iron Chef with a splash of delectably detailed magic.' (J.T. Greathouse, author of the Pact and Pattern series)
'Vivid, vibrant and visceral, Seven Recipes for Revolution weaves a thrilling tale of twisting loyalties and revolutionary carnage through the gleefully unreliable narration of Paprick the Butcher.' (David Wragg, author of the Articles of Faith series)
'A clever page-turner set in a unique and brutal world that will definitely leave you hungry for a second helping.' (Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author of Empire of the Vampire)
