'Touching funny and beautiful Kawashiro has a wonderful gift for bringing the reader into
the story' Booklist What ingredients do you need to cure a broken heart? This soul-nourishing
comfort read is for anyone who has loved and lost - and wants to love again. For fans of Butter
Days at the Morisaki Bookshop What You Are Looking For Is In The Library I Want To Die But I
Want To Eat Tteokbokki and Before The Coffee Gets Cold. Momoko thought her boyfriend was her
soulmate. She believed he was going to propose. Instead he broke things off at a love hotel.
So she does what many broken-hearted people do - she gets incredibly drunk. So drunk that she
passes out in a nearly empty café. When she wakes she pours her heart out to Iori the curious
and impossibly handsome manager and Hozumi a Buddhist monk in training and café regular. As
Momoko describes how her ex loved her cooking the manager decides to allow her to slip into
the kitchen and cook up his favourite dish: a delicious butter chicken curry. Momoko realizes
that this combination of cooking and sharing has stopped the flow of her constant tears. And
the manager has a brilliant idea: what if they started doing this regularly inviting customers
to share stories about heartbreak while cooking dishes that held significance in their
relationships? And so an unconventional therapy group the 'Ex-Boyfriend's Favourite Recipe
Funeral Committee' is born . . .
