14-sai no Satoyama Recipe Higashi Yoshino de, Itadakimasu.

A popular author depicts the true happiness that exists amidst hardship and inconvenience. Miako is a 14-year-old girl who lost her parents and lives with her grandparents in Higashiyoshino Village, deep in the mountains of Nara Prefecture. One day, a young man in his 20s, Yu, comes from Tokyo next to her. He had given up everything, his job and his lover, and fled Tokyo. Umi Aoko cooks using seasonal ingredients from Higashiyoshino, based on her late mother's recipe book. The blessings of the earth, the warmth of home-cooked meals...the two slowly begin to connect with each other in their inconvenient but peaceful life in the countryside. A gem of a book in which a popular author uses food to explore the true happiness that exists amidst hardship and inconvenience!
