Cleaver's Edge

A LitRPG Fantasy Cooking Adventure (Morcster Chef, Book 1)

By: Actus

Narrated by: Peter Berkrot

Length: 13 hrs and 5 mins

Publisher's summary

Adventurers flock to massive crypts brimming with riches.... Heroes storm the gates of dark fortresses... Gods clash over the fate of the realm itself....

Arek cooks lasagna, and tops it with a dash of finely chopped basil.

An orc who has seen more than his fair amount of fighting, Arek wants nothing more than to spend the rest of his days cooking and away from the chaos of combat.

However, when Ming and her group of adventurers hire him as their full-time chef, his plans of avoiding violence crumble. He longs to leave his blood-soaked mistakes in his past, but old friends and foes have different ideas.

Cleaver's Edge is the first book in a Fantasy / LitRPG lite series with a cooking element that's perfect for the holiday season. It contains status windows and other RPG elements, but it is not set within a video game. It will appeal to anyone that enjoys listening to a slice-of-life fantasy about a group of adventurers, as well as fans of Food Wars!

This novel also contains real recipes, and we highly recommend you give them a taste, if you’re hungry!

Great story, great cooking.

This work is a solid effort for Actus and if your in to a low stakes fantasy book, cozy feels.

Peter Berkort does a good job with just a few foibles when it comes to word pronunciation.

Excellent story

This is one of the most interesting books have ever read. Monsters, cooking tips and fun.

Solid and fun cooking adventure!

I love cooking manga, I also enjoy fantasy litrpg. This story has little litrpg elements, but everything comes together to make a funny and fun adventure!

Orcish cooking

Great book with a unique way for the MC to handle past battle trama. The only thing I didnt like about the book is I now have a ton of cooking to do so I can try the dishes mentioned.

happeness

it started as a impulse buy but quickly fell in love with it.
true
hope in the near future we can see others by the author

Who knew that listening about cooking was so fun.

A good mix of typical LitRPG dungeon crawling mixed in with making food. The descriptions of cooking were so interesting I wanted the dungeons to end to get back to the cooking.

A wonderful break from hack and slash

The is more to gaming than just killing monsters and this story is a wonderful breath of fresh air. The combat is there but is not the main focus and I enjoyed every minute of the story. characters are fun and believable. Plus I got some good recipes

enjoyable story, disagree with sautéed mushroom

sautéed mushroom
dry wok on medium heat brings to temperature add mushrooms (any kind cut to bit size) add table spoon of water lid on to start sweating the shroom lid off when there water pooling at the bottom stirr gently to help evaporate the water 5 to 8 minutes when the wok bottom look dry and the mushrooms smell nutties add your fats 2tsp of oil mix well and start the frying process when there some caramelized on the mushrooms add chop garlic butter and thyme salt stir everything together till the butter melted completely transfer to plates and serve

engaging story

I very much enjoyed this book. I can't wait for the sequel. The author has set up a near "must read" for book two.

Good Plot, Great Recipes!

It kept my attention throughout the book, and I plan on trying out the recipes! I eagerly look forward to the next book!
