Tomio’s apron

Once a food-lover, always a cook!
A child understands that what makes him happy will make those he loves happy as well.

In Japan, Tomio’s family calls him “the little gourmet”. For his 7th birthday, his grandfather offered him a kitchen apron to wear while preparing the family recipes. Over time, the apron got dirty and tore, but it doesn’t matter, because “cooking is life”, as Grandpa, an excellent apron repairman, says.
So, when his grandfather joins his ancestors, Tomio, who knows how to create happiness and share it, prepares a meal for the family. Before doing so, he sews a red heart onto his apron.

A touching story of transmission and self-fulfillment, with four of Tomio’s recipes offered to readers at the end of the book.
