Why read it?
1 author picked The Restaurant of Lost Recipes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I never read a book like this before. The two central characters are a father-daughter team who own a humble diner in Kyoto, Japan. People come to them for their "food detective" services. For example, someone who wants to taste fried rice the way their mother made it, but she's been dead for a long time. Nagare reverse-engineers the recipes based on where the clients were living, what food resources they would have had, and by talking to anyone who may be alive to get more information from.
