Dr. James Jasper creates a food substitute called EZ Meal that saves humanity from complete annihilation. In the midst of the ensuing chaos, Jasper Industries becomes a worldwide power controlling the only known food source.
But EZ Meal isn’t the only way. A small secret community finds a way to farm and cook food. The Foodies are convinced that humanity needs food for more than nourishment. They’re waiting for the right time to strike against Jasper Industries.

This was a Goodreads win for me. This is not a Genre I usually read, but I really enjoyed this book. Very interesting story about a place without food and the ramifications. There were definitely some hidden meanings. It was a totally unexpected ending and I won't say more.
The Baker's Memory is a fantastic debut novel from Emily Echols. It sucks you in and leaves you ready for round 2 of The Baker's Memory! Definitely worth a read!
