... And We're Back📚

A new book for October full of food and a lil mystery

I promise I didn’t pick this because of the cat on the cover

Hey there fellow bookworms! I am finally back from my summer break and I’ve missed you all terribly.

Stir the Pot

will be back in one more week but I could only stay away from

The Supper Book Club

for so long. I know it’s a lot to expect people to hang around while I took a much needed break, so I appreciate all your patience. It’s hard to slow down when everything else in the world is telling you to go faster but I think my work will be better for those quiet weeks at home. And for all of you that hung around, thank you so much! Now back to business.

As we creep closer to October, I wanted to give you all some time to grab a copy of the new book we’ll be reading. I’m dispatching with the vote for just this month to streamline things a little. I thought we’d keep things light and fun this round so for October our official books is The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai. Here’s a quick description to get you all excited.

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.

A bestseller in Japan, The Kamogawa Food Detectives is a celebration of good company and the power of a delicious meal.
