A really lovely and endearing collection of short stories.
Like When The Coffee Gets Cold this is a collection of stories that all have a central connection- in this case a dish from memory that needs to be recreated, a mysterious sounding diner with a one line advertisement meaning it can only be found by those who are most determined to find it.
It can be picked up and put down. Don't treat it like a novel but instead enjoy the brief slices of life and the bittersweet memories the food evokes.
I thought this was just lovely overall and it being cosy we don't get the in depth details of the detective work as that's only partially important to the story. What is important are the people in the present and their reactions to the tale of the detective work to figure out the recipes.
Looking forward to book 2.
