Summary
A rich, warm, intergenerational time-travel story for ages nine and up
Maya loves to cook with her grandmother - her Halmunee - to connect with the rich family history associated with each dish, a history Maya's mom would prefer stayed in the past. While cooking with Halmunee, something remarkable happens - the food creates such a strong memory that Maya and Halmunee are transported back in time through the memory itself. Halmunee explains that the women in her family have the gift of time travel through food and Maya can do it too, if she practices. While eating her way through the past, Maya meets Jeff: another young time traveler who brings her to the Golden Orchard, a garden of memories filled with the trees of so many people's lives. Maya learns that time moves in ways she couldn't imagine and sometimes family keep their memories secret to protect the ones they love.

Intriguing time travel book with a focus on family
Good book that was free on audible about time travel (mostly to the past), memories, family (including Korean relatives and understanding what they have been through) and (mostly Korean) food. It's quite intriguing. Loved the idea of the golden orchard but felt it could have been developed more. It does feel aimed at older children, but I enjoyed it as an adult.
Narration was very good.

Finding your past
Such a beautiful story. Where would you learn the best way to make traditional dishes but at your grandmother’s side. Is it now or is it past ? Finding a true friend and waiting to meet again. Everything wonderful about going back in time. Just loved it

Memories of the past
I loved the concept, food often has the power to remind us of the past
It was also interesting learning about Korean culture
