If you could time-travel with a single bite, would you?
Maya's grandmother, Halmunee, may be losing her memory, but she hasn't lost her magic touch in the kitchen. Whether she serves Maya salty miyeok-guk or sweet songpyeon, the food is accompanied by a story Maya craves about her family's mysterious past in Korea - stories her mother would prefer stay in the past, excepially if they involve Maya's father.
Then one day, something extraordinary happens: one delicious bite transports Maya and Halmunee into one of Halmunee's memories. Suddenly they're in Seoul, and Halmunee is young again
This is just the first of many secrets Maya will uncover: that she and her grandmother can travel through time. As Maya eats her way through the past, her questions multiply - until a shocking discovery transforms everything she thought she knew about family, friendship, loss, and time itself.
Brimming with heart and interspersed with Korean recipes, this is a story to savor.
