Super cute and a nice light mystery. I've always been a fan of cooking mysteries (such a weird and wonderful niche of the mystery genre), and I'll be back for Ms. Manansala's tales and recipes.

Captures the family dynamics so well and was a fun, quick read. Can’t wait to try out the recipes in the back! Best friend was a little bit of a brat, though. Looking forward to the next book.
