THE PUN CHEF Or, How to Cook Monsters and Other Fantastical Things

Danielle Boone thought she was signing up to test an experimental fantasy game. Instead, she wakes up inside one-with nothing but a magical spoon, a cursed water farm, and a dangerously literal pun-magic that can turn monsters into five-star entrées.The Pun Chef is a cozy portal fantasy romance about building something from nothing, one terrible pun at a time. With a sushi boat she made in a panic, an extremely opinionated otter, and a water garden that floods every three days, Danielle is either going to build the life she never knew she wanted-or she's going to make a very gourmet last meal.The monsters should be worried.Warmhearted and full of chaotic charm, The Pun Chef follows a woman who loses everything, lands in a swamp, and decides to make it work. With a flood cycle she's turned into an asset, a romance she absolutely did not plan for, and a growing suspicion that this strange, impossible world might be exactly where she belongs, Danielle Boone is building an empire-one terrible, brilliant pun at a time.
