A new installment of the Japanese cozy crime phenomenon that has captivated thousands of readers
A mysterious one-line ad in a culinary magazine, with no phone number or address: those who wish to visit the Kamogawa tavern must rely on a touch of magic to find it! Only regulars and the curious, guided by destiny, find their way to the small building hidden among Kyoto's narrow streets. The father and daughter Kamogawa have begun advertising their services as "food detectives"; through ingenious investigations, they are able to recreate a dish from their clients' past, stews that could well contain the keys to forgotten stories and promises of future happiness. Will these rediscovered flavors allow them to close the door on regrets and start anew? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Restaurant of Lost Recipes is the second book in the bestselling, mouth-watering Kamogawa Food Detectives series, for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold. We all hold lost recipes in our hearts. A very special restaurant in Kyoto helps recreate them... 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.
