Looking forward to seeing how you weave in your loved ones through your recipes. I reflect on food and loss quite a bit ever since losing my youngest uncle to COVID. Even now, I haven't been able to cook any of the dishes he would take me out to eat. But I know that some day, part of the joy of remembering him will be found in cooking, like you said. Thank you for sharing!
Yes grief is a process and everyone has their own unique experience of it. It is hard to talk about loved ones we have lost but it’s also cleansing for our souls to give ourselves license to remember and eventually, to celebrate. I wish you the very best in your own journey Amisha 😘
Hetty, I cannot wait to see Tenderheart and have it in my hands. I'm sorry that this is such a sad time for you. In Japan, new year is a really important time (if not the most important holiday) and it's generally a very serious time of the year, more a time of quiet reflection and less for celebration. I don't know if you've ever noticed on tv but the fireworks are not that impressive, it's just a time for reflecting, which seems to me as I get older more and more important too. Big hugs.
Thank you for sharing Emiko. It’s important to balance the fireworks and revelry with other points of view. I have been in Tokyo during New Year and I know what you mean about the quiet reflection. It’s really restorative to take a moment.
So excited to try these recipes. Thank you for sharing.
