The book of unholy mischief : a novel

Book 2008

In 15th-century Venice, Luciano, a penniless orphan with a quick wit and an even faster hand, is plucked up by an illustrious chef and hired, for reasons he cannot yet begin to understand, as an apprentice in the palace kitchen, where he learns that there is more to his teacher than a garden of strange plants and a box of spices.
