Genre(s): Fiction, Food and Drink

“The Spice Temple – The Journey Begins” is a unique work of literary or culinary fiction that allows readers to travel to destinations like the Swiss Alps, India and Dubai. It offers social themes and gives foodies the taste of amazing culinary creations (many dishes are inspired by real chefs like Ferran Adria and Massimo Bottura).

At the heart of the story lies an opulent villa with a mysterious history. This gastronomic temple draws in the characters, welcoming or warning them.
A young and talented pianist, rejected from pursuing her musical dream, finds shelter and awakens new passions. A banker, haunted by twisted visions, wants to escape the demons of his past but only gives in further to the darkness. A self-made Indian restaurateur, driven by maddening envy, is led down a culinary path of destruction.
Their journeys, laced with rituals, mythology and extraordinary gastronomy come together to create a truly international novel of magic, manipulation and vengeance.

Let The Spice Temple share its secrets and become part of a unique journey that will continue in five subsequent books.
Welcome to a place that awakens the senses, a sanctuary for the soul and a place where stories unfold.

Welcome to The Spice Temple.
