The Delicacy by James Albon – A Restaurant Graphic Novel

Looking for a bit of cooking fun in the form of a graphic novel? Then The Delicacy by James Albon would be a fine choice.

Two brothers, Rowan and Tulip (Danny), embark on an adventure after inheriting a large property from their aunt and uncle and go from living on a small island in Scotland to London. As to what to do with the property, they struck up an ambitious plan of growing the finest vegetables on their property in the country and serving them up in a restaurant in the city. Since both brothers each have their strengths, one a gardener one a cook, it starts out great enough.

It turns out an ingredient grown on their farm, a glorious mushroom, has made the patrons of the restaurant acquire an insatiable appetite for them. And the quest to keep up with production begins.

A great story with just enough twists, turns and mystery to keep you reading. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. And the artwork was beautiful, too.
