Join us in April 2024 as the Cookbook Divas Book Club reads “The Kamogawa Food Detectives,” by Hisashi Kashiwai (via Amazon; affiliate link).
This book was a bestseller in Japan, and has now been translated into English. It sounds really charming.
What’s the one dish you’d do anything to taste just one more time?
Down a quiet backstreet in Kyoto exists a very special restaurant. Run by Koishi Kamogawa and her father Nagare, the Kamogawa Diner serves up deliciously extravagant meals. But that’s not the main reason customers stop by . . .
The father-daughter duo are ‘food detectives’. Through ingenious investigations, they are able to recreate dishes from a person’s treasured memories – dishes that may well hold the keys to their forgotten past and future happiness. The restaurant of lost recipes provides a link to vanished moments, creating a present full of possibility.
Let’s stock up on Japanese sencha tea for our book club reading sessions in April 2024!
Book club discussions take place over in our Cookbook Divas book club private Facebook group.
We may also livestream some book club content over on the Cookbook Divas YouTube channel as well.
See our Book Club page for the reading schedule. It’s ok to get started reading early if you are as excited as I am!
