Salt & Readify
I was just thinking about how authors use seasoning to enrich their prose—like how you balance salt and pepper in a dish. Have you ever read a book where the flavor descriptions feel more like a recipe than a narrative?
Yes, I’ve read a few where the prose almost feels like a recipe. One that sticks out is *The Kitchen* by John Smith, where each chapter breaks down a dish as if it were a culinary instruction, and the narrative seasoning is almost too literal. It’s fascinating—and a little tedious—when the author steps out of the story to lay out the exact measurements and steps, rather than letting the scenes simmer.
