Event Description

It’s the biggest invention in the history of food – and it could tear their lives apart …

FEAST boggles the mind, delivers a sucker-punch to the senses, and launches food into the far future. It blends rich, evocative memories with impossible dreams. Just add water!

It has been three months since Saraswati Kaveri and Serenity Ko won Interstellar MegaChef with their groundbreaking new food simulation, Feast. But victory is only the beginning.

Even as Saras is busy promoting their invention as the public face of the sim, and Ko fights to steer its development at XP Inc., the whole galaxy seems lined up against them. Saraswati’s secret past is coming under scrutiny, old rivals are running smear campaigns against her, and the cookery world is divided over Feast, proclaiming it by turns a bold new invention and a betrayal of the chef’s art. Still others focus on its darker potential, not as an experience, but as a weapon.

And then there’s the kiss, and all that it could mean…

As forces beyond their wildest imaginings threaten their universe, will Saras and Ko fall apart? Or will they find their way through the web of fame, power and deception… together?

Join award-winning author Lavanya Lakshminarayan in conversation with journalist and critic Shrabonti Bagchi to discuss her new novel: Intergalactic Feast. It's the sequel to Interstellar MegaChef, a sharp, imaginative queer space opera set in a universe where food, power, and politics collide.
