"Ever since losing his wife, high school teacher K?hei Inuzuka has raised his daughter Tsumugi alone. But what once seemed like an impossible task has become possible, as K?hei's friendship with his student Kotori has led all three of them to discover the delight of food and cooking. But when K?hei has a health scare of his own, their hard-won happiness will face its greatest test . . ."--Back cover.

"The older Tsumugi gets, the stronger her personality and preferences become. As a responsible single dad, K?hei always does his best to keep up, but sometimes desperate measures are necessary--like the classic Japanese comfort food, a rice omelet. Later, Kotori's on the brink of making a big decision, and she won't be the only one affected by it. But no matter how things turn out, with K?hei and Tsumugi in her life, good food and good company are never far away"--Back cover.

"Kohei and Tsumugi have been spending peaceful days in the kitchen, but that doesn't mean there aren't any bumps in the road. Tsumugi has lots of chances to be a big girl with responsibilities, from running her first errand to wearing her first fancy dress. But when she makes some yummy mochi for a classmate whose mother is sick, it brings back painful memories. Kohei must balance protecting his daughter against letting her grow up and discover things on her own. The trials both in and out of the kitchen show that ever grown-ups like Kohei and Kotori have their own lessons to learn--and it's Tsumugi's turn to be the teacher!"--Back cover.

"Having lost his wife, math teacher Kouhei Inuzuka is doing his best to raise his young daughter Tsumugi as a single father. He's pretty bad at cooking and doesn't have a huge appetite to begin with, but chance brings his little family and one of his students, Kotori Iida, together for homemade adventures. With those three cooks in the kitchen, it's no wonder this dinner table drama is so delicious"--Back cover.
