Against the Currant

The detailed descriptions made me feel like I was right there in the shop. Did the author base it on a real place or create it entirely from imagination?

The way each dish was described added so much charm, but I wondered if that was a deliberate choice to deepen the community vibe or just a love of food.

I loved how the ingredients and recipes seemed to connect to the plot in subtle ways. Did the author plan this from the start or let it develop organically?
