Elan, who runs a small deli store, has a good reputation with her healthy foods. She makes foods with organic seasoning and herb and makes a note of her recipes on her notebook with detailed explanations and drawings. She also writes down things to remember in the same notebook. One day, suddenly Elan starts to show signs of Alzheimer's disease; she doesn’t remember the food she made. Now Elan decides to leave her family and to go to a nursing home, not to trouble people around her. After she is gone, Gyu Hyeon, her troublemaker son, cleans the room and finds her notebooks. He finally understands his mother’s hope and despair about life from the notebooks, and now for the first time, he decides to cook Elan’s food to remember her. (Source: Ko Biz)
