“Don’t ever eat anybody but yourself” Ashley’s grandmother cackled. Ashley learned the lesson. Refused to eat anybody no matter how good dry, aged meat smelt when laid in a hot, cast iron pan. Now a celebrated chef, she catches her latest assistant examining the meat in her pans. A magically creepy tale of haute cuisine and ulterior motives.
