Monster Menu: A Slice-of-Life LitRPG

An LA taco truck chef is transported to a fantasy realm where bad reviews are the least of her worries in this cozy culinary LitRPG adventure. For Renee "Nay" Favreau, food is life. She's the owner of a Los Angeles taco truck who dreams of becoming a respected chef and expanding her fleet, and whose greatest enemy is an unhappy food critic. Always hunting for her next great dish, the search eventually leads her to a near-fatal encounter with an interdimensional spider. Awaking in a strange world where words appear before her eyes, a talking tentacle befriends her, and people are trying to kill her, Nay learns she has the ability to become an Epicurist: one of the special chefs who prepare the magical meals that power the enigmatic Marrow Eaters. Soon, Nay is working in a remote village, where she wins the hearts—and stomachs—of the locals. But when evil threatens to destroy the place, she'll have to employ all her wit and newfound skills to survive and save her new friends . . . The hit LitRPG adventure—with more than 500,000 views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
