This thrilling page-turner, a fascinating glimpse into the high-pressure world of big-city restaurants, is a must-read for foodies, Anglophiles, Food Network fans, and those with a taste for beautiful, terrible people. Tulip and his brother Rowan have left the simple comforts of their remote Scottish island with a plan: to grow succulent, organic vegetables in an idyllic market garden, and to open a restaurant serving these wholesome culinary delights to the busy sprawl of London. The world of fine dining seems impossibly competitive... until they discover a deliriously scrumptious new species of mushroom. The dish brings diners in droves, catapulting their small restaurant to success beyond their wildest dreams. Now, pressured by the demands of a hungry city, Tulip is desperate to crack the secret of their new ingredient\\'s growth. But just how much will he sacrifice to feed his own insatiable ambition? James Albon is a British writer and illustrator. He studied illustration at Edinburgh College of Art, and went on to a postgraduate scholarship at the Royal Drawing School in London. His short comic Madame \u0026amp; Me was a finalist in the Guardian\/Comica\/Cape Award in 2017, he was awarded the Gwen May Award from the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in 2012, and has been a Laureate of the Rene Carcan Biennale in 2014 and 2020. His previous books are Her Bark \u0026amp; Her Bite (2016) and A Shining Beacon (2019). Praise for James Albon: \\'A brilliantly drawn, heart-rending drama of modern life in troubled times, so contemporary that it could be off the streets of any city today.\\' - Paul Buhle, author of Marxism in the United States and Lecturer Emeritus of American Studies, Brown University \\'Like a New Yorker cover spun out to a fullå -length story... Albon uses loose and energetic colored pencil, in a palette heavy in yellows and blues, to capture the social and emotional whirl of this airy tale.\\' - Publishers Weekly \\'James Albon\\'s delicate and utterly unique artwork is so alive on the page, you can\\'t help but be charmed and completely swept up.\\' - Jeff Lemire, author of Essex County and The Underwater Welder \\'Lines and shade flow through the panels, bringing the story to life as if it were caught in a breeze‰Û  extraordinary.\\' - Grovel \\'A fantastic book, extrapolating British current affairs into a dystopian nightmare. It\\'s on point, superbly written, joyously illustrated and a pleasure to read.\\' - Grovel (W\/A\/CA) James Albon\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41851177730183,"sku":"CSAITM502561","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0361\/1384\/2311\/files\/502561.jpg?v=1772331908","url":"https:\/\/more-fun-comics-and-games.myshopify.com\/products\/delicacy-gn-csaitm502561","provider":"More Fun Comics and Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
