Disclaimer: I received an e-ARC from netgalley in exchange for a review.

An anthology speculating on the future of food in this world. From the death of bees and what comes after, over sentient lab-grown meat, to droughts and cannibalism there is a lot of potential futures in here. Most of the story focus on a dystopian view set somewhere in the future, but some are closer to our current reality than others, which was interesting and made the stories feel more different while reading. There is a some repetition, especially with the idea of “food – or a part of food, like vegetables, fruit or cows – has gone extinct due to drought/fungus/pollinator death/plagues/GMOs, how would that look like?”, which made some of the stories feel a bit repetitive after a while, but there where quite a lot of stories I enjoyed and that still made this anthology feel intriguing, such as Succulent, which is told entirely in dialogue, Novel Suggestions for Social Occasions, which features an etiquette for dinner parties of the post-apocalyptic kind, Marianne Is Not Hungry, which is set in the rather near future and features a disordered relationship to food that is not part of any other stories here and Recipe From The Future, which sticks out for its intriguing and weird writing style.
There are also three stories with LGBT+ characters (one lesbian MC, one gay MC and one nonbinary MC for each), which I enjoyed, but I want to give a trigger warning for the story with the nonbinary character as their story is mostly focused around being sexually exploited, misgendered and reduced to their genitalia, which I didn’t find that great to read and for which I chose to lower my rating from 4 stars to 3. I don’t mind sexual violence or transphobia to play a role in a story (look at the world we live in!), but I do not really care for it to be treated to flippantly and without any form of resolution as it was in that story.
All in all, this is an intriguing anthology idea, featuring some great writers and some great ideas and if you enjoy reading about speculative dystopian ideas on our future food this could be an interesting read for you.
As always, you can now find short notes on all the short stories featured, including summaries, some notes on my thoughts and trigger warnings beneath:

*FAV* Pleased To Meet You by Catherine Bush: This is a really fascinating short story about a world of lab-grown meat developing sentience. It is unsettling and really well written, horrifying in a much too realistic way. I loved it.
I Want Candy by Dina Del Bucchia: Restaurant reviews in the future split between one reviewer of high-end restaurants and a reviewer, who cannot afford to dine at any of these places (or actually any places at all). Wonderful illustration of class differences in the future and the author really made Jenny, the rich reviewer, so deeply hateful, it was great to read.
TW: death by fire
*FAV* Succulent by Elan Mastai: A world in which meat is produced from celebrity genes (yum!?) centered around three roommates and their struggles. Told only in dialogue, this is a really fascinating short story and I really liked it. It is messy, it is weird, it has capitalist cannibalism, relationship drama, I adored it.
*FAV* Pollinators by Carleigh Baker: Scientists are trying to find a way to transform farming after bees have disappeared suddenly. Really interesting idea and with a lot of fascinating worldbuilding, this is a short story I really liked.
Time to Fly by Lisa de Nikolits: A post-apocalyptic world where a few rich people survived the atomic world destruction on their cruising yacht. Very emotional and heartbreaking, I really enjoyed the way it dealt with loss and grief through memories of food.
TW: drug use, mass death through nuclear war
A View Worth All the Aqua in the World by Anuja Varghese: A world ravaged by droughts where the survivors earn aqua by scrounging for treasure in the underground. A mother finds an oldtech artifact. A rather typical dystopian sci-fi story, but I liked the main character and her voice, so I liked this short story well enough.
TW: dehydration, mass extinction
You Need A Licence For That by Sifton Tracey Anipare: A woman attends a dinner party in a world where calories are rationed out and pregnancies are something you need to pass an exam for. Very interesting concept and I really enjoyed the uncomfortable party setting here.
*FAV* Novel Suggestions For Social Occasions by Ji Hong Sayo: Set in world where elaborate dinners often end in slaughter, framed by a rule book for proper etiquette for Ladies, this is a really fun story, with lots of fighting. I really enjoyed it!
TW: murder, violence
*FAV* Just A Taste by A.G.A. Wilmot: In a cyberpunk world, where cows have long gone extinct, a woman, who steals and sells memories for the right price, finds herself up against a very powerful man with a seemingly impossible request: Find a memory that contains a burger. Very fun, very messy, very enjoyable!
TW: murder, violence
*FAV* Road by Terri Favro: Two sisters trying to survive in a moth apocalypse. Really great and scary worldbuilding here, this is a short story I could absolutely read more of! I also loved the ending.
TW: animal death, death, poison
Unlimited Dream by Mark Sampson: In a world where food can be grown through dreaming, we follow one dreamer as he slowly becomes more and more enamored with the dream. Haunting and intriguing, but I would have liked to dive deeper into the dream world.
TW: self-harm, mention of starvation, violence
*FAV* Marianne Is Not Hungry by Jowita Bydlowska: A story told through the perspective of an eating disorder as it follows a woman through her relationships. Heartbreaking and sad and especially the ending was tough to read. I really enjoyed this one, especially since it stands out in its intriguing approach to food in this anthology.
TW: cheating, eating disorder, mention of incest, miscarriage, vomit
Lorenzo and the Last Fig by Eddy Boudel Tan: In this story fruit and vegetables were destroyed by a fungus years ago. But now, miraculously, a fig tree has been discovered. This is a heartbreaking story oppressed by fear and governmental oppression, but also with a very hopeful end, which I adored!
Food Fight by Chris Benjamin: A story of farmers fighting for their right to their land and to sell their food after corporate greed and climate change has made most farming impossible. Intriguing concept, but it is also so dark and filled with a lot of misgendering and sexual violence that it took away from the story for me. I also don’t know why the grandpa that sexually assaults people needed to get a narrative voice in the story? Just to misgender Sawyer again, after their cousin already did? Just to think about sexually assaulting them? Really not a plot I needed in here or that I felt add anything to the story or the narrative about food it was trying to tell.
TW: sexual violence, incest, misgendering
The Crane by Jacqueline Valencia: A man struggling with a lot of anxiety imagines what a crane if it gained life and sentience might eat. Intriguing concept and really fun addition to this anthology, which more often features dystopian scenarios of scarcity than this short, but fun tale of horror.
*FAV* Recipe From The Future by Gary Barwing: A quite weird, but intriguing story about eating the future (literally). Told in really short scenes this paints a very strange world, but I enjoyed digging into it.
