A sweet, gentle read. Father and daughter recreate dishes from their clientsz’ pasts. Each dish has a story about something lost and regained. This book would have been even better with recipes for the dishes that were the center of each story. Lovely glimpses into the evocative nature of Japanese cuisine.
