The Restaurant of Lost Recipes

About

The father-daughter detective team of the Kamogawa Diner returns for more culinary investigations — customers who arrive with the memory of a dish they can't forget, a taste that connects them to a person or a moment they need to revisit. Each case sends the detectives into the archives of Japanese home cooking, where recipes carry the weight of family history. Kashiwai deepens the formula of the first book by letting the cases become more personal, the memories more bittersweet, and the food more evocative. The writing remains warm and precise, and the meal at the end of each investigation is both solution and reward. More cases from the detectives who solve mysteries with recipes — because sometimes the thing you're craving isn't food.
