This was wholesome and bittersweet, a tinge of melancholy in each short story following a father daughter duo who recreate dishes from their clients' memories. The formulaic structure is comforting like a shoujo anime.

Very Before the Coffee Gets Cold. Every chapter followed the exact same format. Not really characters. It would have been cool to see the actual detective work.

A sweet book but one whose quick resolutions left me a bit cold, particularly when contrasted with similar books in the genre (namely the wonderful ‘What you are looking for is in the library’. I think it would have been nicer perhaps to just have a few of the vignettes and more of the ‘journey’ to the recipe being sought, rather than just the presentation of the request and then the immediate resolution.

Still, an easy read with some nice moments.
