I just finished reading a Taste of Sage and let me tell you, this book was so unique! It gives you recipes for every dish that is discussed in the book. When reading this book you can literally feel every emotion, every pain, and every gut feeling that the characters feel. At one point in the book, Lumi the main character falls and passes out and why did I feel like I fell and bumped my head. I cried with Lumi, I laughed with Lumi and I self-reflected with Lumi! This book was beautifully written and you can feel it as you read.
