Interstellar MegaChef by Lavanya LakshminarayanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Interstellar MegaChef is the first book in the Flavour Hacker series by Lavanya Lakshminarayan. The second book isn't out yet, so you would have to start here. That would be my recommendation anyway, since this book is the world-building. It is self-contained so you don't need to read the second book if you aren't ready for a series right now.
I love a reality cooking competition, so the title of this book really drew me in. I also love donuts and was very disappointed that I didn't see any in here. I did however get very hungry while reading and want to eat lots of snacks. I really enjoyed the diversity of characters and food in this book. I did not enjoy that some main characters are really unlikeable and what felt unnecessarily mean. Then again, that may just be a reflection of the world we live in today. People are unnecessarily mean, especially to people who don't look like them. I most identified with the Wanderers so that probably didn't help how I felt about Serenity Ko and the potential future of tech. More space donuts, please!
