The second installment of the beloved Kamogawa Food Detectives, THE RESTAURANT OF LOST RECIPES is a perfect choice for a cozy, heartwarming book. Set up as six interconnecting, but stand alone, installments-- each patron of the Kamagowa Diner is welcomed in as family. Always given a comforting, skillfully crafted meal to start, Chef Nagare and his daughter Koishi also offer their popular food detective service. Patrons often come searching for this particular skill set, not just to rediscover a lost favorite food, but also to re-experience or uncover a hidden part of themselves.
LOST RECIPES was a lovely look into the very human connection between food and memories-- how the taste of a forgotten dish can reignite someone's spark or uncover a heartwarming memory of a loved one. Perfect for fans of Toshikazu Kawaguchi, or even just someone looking for a quick, but comforting book, THE RESTAURANT OF LOST RECIPES will not disappoint.
