Welcome to Litsy!

Cute and cozy but wish there was a little more underlying story between the short stories

Dewey‘s 24-Hour Readathon is about to begin! It‘s my 32nd consecutive ‘thon (which: whoa) and I‘m all set to kick it off with another chapter from THE KAMOGAWA FOOD DETECTIVES. It‘s lovely so far; a little bit like MIDNIGHT DINER in how it uses particular dishes to unravel the mysteries behind people‘s lives, but without the show‘s underlying grit. #deweysapril2024

This is a sweet little book… not quite a novel, maybe more connected vignettes? Surrounding a father-daughter team who run a restaurant that specializes in recreating a meal the customer is trying to remember from their past. Very cozy.

Food and memory are uniquely entwined. This is a sweet story of a father-daughter owned restaurant / food detective agency.

February #wrapup

Favorite book of the month is tagged but Stories on Rye is a favorite too. Still struggling a bit with a slump, it‘s been hard for me to focus on anything other than a graphic novel or a very short book. Hope this feeling ends soon, my books are pulling up.

Trying to recreate that perfect nostalgic meal from your childhood? Contact the Kamogawa Detective Agency where a father & daughter pair will research & recreate that perfect dish.

This was an absolute pleasure to read. The relationship between Koishi & her father Nagare was such fun to read.

I loved that these stories show how entwined food & memory & family are all together for all these clients looking to recapture joy or comfort. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

#Farm made me think of this cookbook which has been in my collection for years. I purchased it when I was getting weekly CSA boxes back in the day & needed lots of recipes & ideas for all the parts of the veggie. 🥕🥬💚🌽🥒

The memoir of the editor at Knopf responsible for the publishing of Julia Child‘s Mastering the Art of French Cooking & the Knopf Cooks American series.

This was so interesting! It was fascinating to read through a life so heavily influenced by a love of food and cooking. Her friendships with the authors she worked with were delightful. & recipes at the end! Unfortunately, shorter than I would have liked, it felt very bullet point. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
