I wasn‘t quite sure what to expect based on what I had read about this book, and it definitely took some time to get into. However, over time it developed into a story that pulled me in and made me think. I ended up really enjoying it.

The Perfect Nine and a bowl of githeri, a hearty red bean and white maize stew from #Kenya, which I will definitely make again.

I am still riddling out the end. Since the book is about people being poisoned, not sure what dish I will make. #foodandit #foodandlit2022 #Japan.

Sekiguchi is a Japanese poet, translator, artist and food writer.
I loved her essay about nagori (definition below) so much when I read it in 2019, I knew when I returned it to the library that I'd have to get my own. And now I do. I love it just as much on its second read 😁. It's about food, poetry, nature and seasons, cultural habits, and language: that's about 3/4 of my interests all in one book!

@Butterfinger, @Texreader, @Catsandbooks

Dilara Nagori means remains or traces in Japanese. Also the sorrow of parting or the feeling of nostalgia at the end of an era/season. This speaks to me.
I think my bookmark with autumnal rosehips in a wintery landscape is a perfect example of what she describes.
Sekiguchi explains how some Japanese cooks like to build a dish around a food coming into season, one in full season, and one about to go out of season (or one that keeps or is preserved).

Dilara I find this fascinating and thought-provoking!

ETA: I see there is a German translation: Nagori: Die Sehnsucht nach der von uns gegangenen Jahreszeit. I'll keep my fingers crossed for an English version.

Both hubby and I fully appreciated this book. I chose Berry Clafoutis from the foods mentioned in the novel. #foodandlit #foodandlit2022 I admit, I wasn‘t going to but after finishing, I did order the authors family cookbook.

Catsandbooks Oh wow!! Looks fabulous! 2y
Texreader Dang that looks so good. How was it? 2y
Sapphire So good! And really easy. 2y

Potato and cured, smoked herring salad. With raw beetroot juice. Not an imaginative menu, but very local to the North of France and all I could bear given the temperature!

Texreader That is an unusual dish. I tried pickled herring while visiting my mother in law in Norway. Not really my thing. 2y
Dilara @Texreader LOL I love it, but it certainly is an acquired taste, which is why there is herring on one half of the dish only 😋 Although I'm not sure Norwegian pickled herring is the same as what's on the picture. Mine is salted, then smoked, then preserved in oil with bay leaf, thyme, onion and peppercorn. 2y
