«El cocinero» is the culinary thriller by Martin Suter, published by Lumen in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
Andrea and Maravan, after being fired from a restaurant in Zurich, create Love Food, a catering service that uses cooking to revive the libido of worn-out couples. The therapy for wealthy marriages ends up becoming a luxury brothel for businessmen, with gastronomy as a metaphor for desire, identity and money.
The novel was published in 2011 in Lumen's Futura collection; it is a translation from German, with the original title Der Koch.
For readers of contemporary European fiction and fans of stories that combine gastronomy, desire and social criticism.
Martin Suter is a Swiss author. He became known for his weekly column Business Class in the Weltwoche newspaper (1992–2004), now appearing in the Tages-Anzeiger, and another column appearing in "NZZ Folio". The columns have been published as nine books.
