He only wanted a story. One mouthful made him a fugitive of time.
Food writer Ishmael Qazrani is desperate to finish his manuscript on forgotten recipes. Invited to a secret potluck, he expects casseroles and curries-until a plain brown door opens to centuries. Romans, Mughals, Mayans... guests from across history gather to share the flavors of their era. The rules are simple: taste, observe, remember-never write.
But temptation is a spice Ishmael can't resist. Now he must choose: protect the feast's secret... or rewrite it forever.

Realisations
This quick read follows the journey of a lone man trying to find his way back home. After being thrown off course likely due to his own distractibility, although he'd hardly admit to it, the hopeful time traveller must work his way back through time to the embrace of everything that is familiar to him. He makes stops along the way, forcing him to reflect upon the history that makes up the lattice work of his identity and that of his people. I made this story some time ago as a homage to Palestine and its people of the past, present and future. It has been sitting in my laptop for a while and I thought, considering everything that has happened and continues to happen, perhaps it may do some good to set it adrift in the ether of the internet. So, dear reader, please reflect upon whatever comes to you as you read this story and any story or any bit of information you across in your own journeys throughout this world we all share.Complete

A Taste That Lingers | Chef Luca
Madelyn Medina doesn't just critique food - she deconstructs the chefs who make it. Every plate is a fingerprint, every movement behind the pass a clue. Her reviews are quietly feared in high-end kitchens across Europe not just for their precision, but for their unnerving accuracy. She doesn't just say the sauce lacked depth - she'll tell you the chef did, too. When her editor sends her to Copenhagen for a discreet series on discipline and artistry in modern kitchens, Madelyn doesn't expect to be moved - until a single pastry changes everything. Delicate, balanced, and hauntingly personal, it leaves her breathless. She becomes obsessed with writing about it, about the chef who made it, but no one will give her a name. Years pass before she ever tastes him again- just glimpses, crumbs of his presence in a screaming kitchen. And then, finally, she watches him work. Luca Poulter. Methodical. Silent. Composed. And somehow, impossibly more revealing in his stillness than most are with words. >Chef Luca x OC >he doesn't have a last name thats been revealed yet so please forgive me
