What if the taste of a memory could bring someone back—just long enough for one last goodbye?
This month, we’re dishing up Aftertaste, a spellbinding blend of magical realism, culinary obsession, and bittersweet longing.
When Konstantin Duhovny realizes he can channel the flavors of the dead—and cook them into meals that summon spirits—he steps into a world where grief and gastronomy collide. Haunted by loss and driven by purpose, Kostya dives headfirst into New York’s ruthless culinary scene to serve up closure… one final bite at a time.
Part Under the Whispering Door, part Sweetbitter, and wholly original, Aftertaste is a ghost story you’ll want to savor, a love story that lingers, and a tale of sacrifice that will stay on your palate long after the final page.
Join us as we explore this rich, otherworldly novel full of flavor, feeling, and the kind of magic only grief—and great food—can conjure.
