Taste of Sage (Santos) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[D]isappointingly bland.… Santos’s creativity and humor, however, shine through occasionally in the recipes that accompany many chapters…. Unfortunately, her recipe for romance is not equally inspired.
Publishers Weekly


Santos's debut blends the rare but real condition of synesthesia into a fast-paced if uneven romance. The recipes throughout make this a perfect recommendation to those checking out cookbooks with their romances. —Kellie Tilton, Univ. of Cincinnati Blue Ash
Library Journal


This sweet and spicy tale will bring out the romantic epicurean in all who pull it off the shelves.
Booklist


[A] thread of magical realism runs through the text in Lumi’s ability to taste emotions in food… and [when Santos] lushly describes Lumi’s culinary creations, the passages shine. But these brief moments are not enough to save the uneven writing and thin plot.
