Description

From the author of If You Still Recognise Me comes a delicious story of two people brought together by a shared love of food as they figure out themselves and each other.

Auden is finding different ways to be themself. The first – using their new chosen name, which feels most authentically them. The second – starting a food blog where they can share their passion for food, through family recipes and the stories behind them. And when the blog brings them Valerie, they discover more than they’d ever expected.

It’s been over a year since Valerie lost her mum – her beautiful, vibrant mum who loved cooking. Since her mum’s death, Valerie and her dad have drifted further and further apart, the kitchen left cold and empty, until Valerie finds Auden’s blog. The blog (and its writer) spark something in Valerie. Could she have found a recipe for happiness?

Praise for If You Still Recognise Me:

“Cynthia So leans into the complex fluidity of relationships over time, across generations and communities, shaded by culture and circumstances. Elsie’s story is romantic, warm, wise, and disarmingly sincere.” – Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda

“An epic fandom, a scavenger hunt for a lost love and an ode to cultural inheritance – this is a wonderfully heartfelt and joyously queer romance” – Lauren James, author of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe

“If You Still Recognise Me is a poignant, perfectly formed debut about queer love, fandom and family.” – Lex Croucher, author of Gwen and Art are Not in Love

“Refreshing, relatable and raw in its honesty, this is the book I wish I’d had as a queer teen discovering my identity.” – Sarah Underwood, author of Lies We Sing to the Sea

“Suffused with queer wistfulness and the ache to be known, So’s debut is as intimate and revelatory as the first touch of a first crush’s hand.” – Riley Redgate, author of Seven Ways We Lie
