But they don’t just serve meals; they recreate dishes from their clients’ pasts to help them reconnect with lost memories, people, and moments. Each chapter unfolds a new culinary mystery where food becomes the bridge between yesterday and today, offering comfort, closure, and sometimes, a second chance.
