A cozy, comforting, heart warming read about a father daughter duo that recreates lost or forgotten recipes for 4 customers. It’s short, simple, and sweet. Helping people come to terms with their nostalgic past, learning more about the people and recipes they’re trying to recreate, and helping them move on with their lives. I love the father daughter relationship and found it very wholesome. Much more light hearted than Before the Coffee Gets Cold, but just as charming.
