Matt Wallace wrote the Sin du Jour series as a set of nine novellas published between 2015 and 2018. The books center on a professional kitchen in New York City, but this is not a standard restaurant. Sin du Jour caters exclusively to supernatural clientele, preparing feasts for demons, fallen angels, goblin diplomats, and other beings that most people never see. The kitchen staff, many of them ordinary humans, find themselves caught up in the politics and violence of this hidden world.
The series has a strong comedic streak running through its horror and action. Wallace uses the kitchen setting to ground the supernatural elements in something familiar. The pressures of professional cooking, tight deadlines, difficult clients, and kitchen politics all map neatly onto stories about serving literal monsters. Each novella is short and punchy, making the full nine-book series a fast read from start to finish.
