The kamogawa food detectives

As I reached the end of this simply written/ translated but deeply sensitive and absolutely salivating book...I searched and repaired my amazon india account and added it in my cart. A paperback will surely be lighter than hardback. I love food memories and more than having an emotional aspect that I can read only once (another half opened book but I wont buy "the girl with a knife) I love and adore food memories ( The apprentice: my life in the kitchen) or emotions if any are written wittily (sweet life in paris) or downright ribtickling funny (bongmom cookbook). I came across this title when I was searching for similar books like Relish by Lucy Knisley (which I have a copy of)I set claim in my library ( which I do before I buy...easier that way than wasting money for a one time read and donating to the library) and promptly forgot about. Then I put the claim again and went to pick it up this tuesday. Its thursday and I am already on my last chapter. And thinking of buying it. Then came the crux. Usually ebay sells me stuff for maximum of 5 dollars (I like second hand and dont mind salvaging a well read book than a new one) but both on ammajan (read amazon) and ebay were competing, its 13$ for a book. Definitely three times of what I expected but then I came across Deepika Amin (doordarshan heroine, now doing maa roles)post recommending this book and that set me thinking...The book is available for 500 rs on ammajan india...so next time the courier will have my books...I am now on library website for another book...the restaurant of lost recipes by same author... Some books just have a knack of bringing back lost love (reading books in this case) for you...nothing can be a beautiful slow finish to a well deserved break...guess girl with knife will be disarmed next
