I really want to like this series more. I just don't get all the talk about it. It's enjoyable. It has an interesting concept. I just feel like I missing something.
Much like Laila Starr, Ram V’s Rare Flavours feels like museum art. There are a lot of industry people who rave about it, while I stand there staring at it and try to figure out why I don’t get it. All the cool kids are loving it, why can’t I?! It’s a decent read, but I don’t think there is anything inherently unique or special about the story itself or the inclusion of recipes in storytelling. It all just comes across as fine.
