Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell with Soap Smoothie

Fiction To Sink Your Teeth Into, a feature from author and professional chef Rohan O’Duill!

If I could summarise Cloud Atlas in a paragraph, I wouldn’t be writing the recipe section of a newsletter. This epic saga throws up a lot of interesting concepts. Soap is a drink consumed by clones that provides their nutrition. I found it difficult to source the original protein source for the drink so I substituted in some vanilla protein instead.

Please enjoy this refreshing smoothie as you delve into the world of Cloud Atlas.
