A culinary expedition into a hidden magical kingdom

Chiri’s search for unusual ingredients pulls her and her friend Dai from the edge of a deep forest into Puddin’, a secret kingdom inhabited by magical beings and threatened by the Thousand Faces Monster. Their journey brings cooking and exploration together with a quest to find their way home, as they encounter witches, bards, ogres, and sorcerers. The setup gives the fantasy adventure a distinctive food-and-foraging thread, while the danger surrounding Puddin’ keeps the friends’ homeward journey at the heart of the story.

Book overview

Chiri is a fun-loving super cook looking for fresh adventures and ingredients, but her love of exploration has landed her in some serious magical trouble and she's going to need all the help she can get to find home again.

Chiri and best friend Dai live in an orphanage right next to the deepest, darkest forest. On a scavenging mission to find some amazing new ingredients for her many culinary experiments, Chiri plunges both her and her best friend into the secret kingdom of Puddin', a secret place plagued by the Thousand Faces Monster and inhabited by all sorts of magical people and critters. Befriending witches, bards, ogres and sorcerers, can our two protagonists make it home and more importantly, can they evade the darkness that has awoken on their arrival?
