This delivered on its premise and was mostly enjoyable. I still have some worldbuilding questions remaining, hence the rating, but I think this was a very interesting combination of themes. We've got meditations on grief and what it means to move on, some complicated romance, immigrant family troubles, and then the culinary inventions. I don't even know what the correct genre for this book would be, but it was a compelling read.
