Devour - by Kay Raymond (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Eating is a Primal Act

Feel the tenderness of the meat beneath your fingertips as you prep, the tendons and fat giving way as you chew, the delicious juices seeping through to quench your craving. Suck the marrow straight from the bone.

In Kay's kitchen, preparing and eating food is a form of ritual, self-love, and devotion. With an emphasis on taste and texture, these recipes call to your inner animal and feed your most primal desires. With your own hands you will slow roast a beef heart until it's tender, and turn beets and orange into a soup reminiscent of fresh blood. These dishes will excite your taste buds and force you to be present. Each bite is a unique experience you need to bow down to.

Your kitchen is a place where danger, eeriness, imagination, and the sublime can coexist. Find comfort in the darkness and devour the world around you.

Review Quotes

"Devour is decadent, haunting, and visually mesmerizing. Kay doesn't just create recipes, she creates an experience. Every page feels like stepping into a beautifully dark fever dream you never want to leave, rich with seductive imagery and an irresistible sense of allure."
-- Sonja Norwood, creator of Wick'd Confections

"Kay Raymond is part Hitchcock, part Francis Bacon, part Hannibal Lecter, part Dexter, and wholly herself. Her decadent storytelling makes the table feel like a séance, the kitchen like a crime scene, and appetite like the most civilized of unspeakable urges."
-- Douglas Little, founder of Heretic Parfum
