| Summary: | "Chef Nagare and his daughter Koishi serve their customers more than delicious food at their Kamogawa Diner down a quiet street in Kyoto. They can help recreate meals from their customers' most treasured memories. Through ingenious investigations, these "food detectives" untangle flavors and pore through old shopping lists to remake unique dishes from the past. From the swimmer who misses his father's lunchbox to the model who longs for fried rice from her childhood, each customer leaves the diner forever changed--though not always in the ways they expect... A beloved bestseller in Japan, The Restaurant of Lost Recipes is a tender and healing novel that celebrates the power of community and delicious food"-- |
