Robin Sloan The Magic Recipe for Lois Book

The novel "A Magical Recipe for Lois" combines the super complex with the ordinary - innovative future technologies, exquisite cooking and a pinch of magic. Programmer Lois Clery lives in the not-too-distant future and develops robots. She works almost around the clock and eats poorly, until she starts ordering food in one strange restaurant. The girl tastes the incredible dishes of two migrant brothers - a talented chef and musician. Soon, due to the lack of visas, the guys are forced to close the restaurant, but they manage to give Lois one last gift before leaving - an unusual sourdough starter, which is a secret ingredient in an ancient bread recipe. Lois shows a passion for cooking, and the magical recipe opens up another world for her - one of extraordinary mystery and rapid change. "A Magical Recipe for Lois" will tell as much about the wonders of cooking as Mr. Penumbra does about the secrets of the book society....

Amazing.
