El cocinero

Love Food is a catering service specialized in reactivating the libido of jaded couples. Andrea and Maravan created it after being fired from the restaurant where they worked, in Zurich. She wanted an imaginative business of her own, and he needed money to support his family in Sri Lanka. However, what begins as a therapy for high-class marriages ends up transformed into the exotic initiation for businessmen in a luxury brothel. Martin Suter, one of the most popular authors of Swiss literature, also widely celebrated in France, offers us in this original and stimulating novel a courageous portrait of today's Europe, with the kitchen as a metaphor for identity and miscegenation, for love and sex, and the ethical problems raised by money. The best literary recipe for times of crisis.
