světová literatura v anglickém překladu - příběh Maravana, mladého tamilského uprchlíka, který byl na Srí Lance specialistou na ájurvédskou kuchyni, a nyní myje nádobí v hotelu, dostane nabídku od kolegyně Andrey, aby spolu založili agenturu na přípravu speciálních afrodiziakových večeří.

But even culinary magic can't ward off recession and when their new company begins to struggle, they are forced to enter into a much more unsavoury business, plunging them deep into an underworld where murder and sex feed otherwise unquenchable thirsts...
