Rene, an ambitious young chef with a talent for creating exquisite dishes, finally realizes her dream of opening her own cafe. However, when she advertises for staff, only one applicant shows up—a small green creature named Glumfoot. Despite this unusual partnership, the cafe opens each day to empty tables, leaving Rene disappointed and discouraged by the lack of customers.


In an attempt to boost their clientele, Glumfoot brings an unexpected guest: an ogre with a peculiar palate, craving only the most revolting concoctions. Though Rene prides herself on quality cuisine and refuses to compromise, Glumfoot ingeniously redecorates the food to suit the ogre’s unusual tastes—something every parent can relate to when serving a picky toddler. The ogre leaves delighted, proving that, sometimes, a little creativity can make all the difference.


Set against a charming retro backdrop, Cafe at the Edge of the Woods enchants readers with its detailed illustrations, quirky characters, and a delightful array of folklore figures. This whimsical tale is a joy for readers of all ages.
