Hisashi Kashiwai, the author of The Restaurant of Lost Recipes, was born in 1952 and was raised in Kyoto. He graduated from Osaka Dental University. After graduating, he returned to Kyoto and worked as a dentist. He has written extensively about his native city and has collaborated on TV programmes and magazines. The first book in the series was The Kamogawa Food Detectives.
Kashiwai is among a certain coterie of Japanese writers to have perfected a globally successful literary formula: create a café-esque setting with beloved staff who deliver plenty of empathic kindness to customers whose visits inspire stand-alone narratives . . . Deliciousness lingers * Booklist * This cozy book delights in Japanese cuisine * Kirkus * Praise for The Kamogawa Food Detectives 'Like sights and sounds, tastes are also deeply connected to one's memories. The depictions of the beautiful scenery of Kyoto and its native dishes, which are like the original landscape of Japan, warmed my heart' -- Genki Kawamura, author of <i>If Cats Disappeared from the World</i> Praise for The Kamogawa Food Detectives: The food writing is truly superb . . . Reading this heartwarming book almost feels like watching a quiet box set; it's the perfect accompaniment to a rainy autumnal Sunday * Cambridge Edition * Praise for The Kamogawa Food Detectives 'An absolute joy; hilarious, emotional, and entirely delicious. Hisashi Kashiwai's tales of love lost, found, grown older and reborn are both striking and comforting - truly one of a kind. Delectable and delightful' -- Bryan Washington, author of <i>Family Meal</i>
