Japan: The Cookbook

Reviews

They simply placed the book inside a box much larger than the book itself and closed it, without adding bubble wrap or paper to avoid book collisions. Yes! Some have exceeded my taste buds expectations😊There is a need for a number of Japanese ingredients.

There are also over 50 recipes by famous chefs in the blue section at the back and several full-page photographs, but the lovely introduction at the very beginning by Nancy Singleton Hachisu is definitely well-worth reading before you start cooking. It is simple and beautiful to follow and use. I like the range of recipes and am so glad I bought this book.

However, the delivery from Amazon left something to be desired. It's an expensive book and normally people don't like breakdowns in their books. I've already made seven meals from this cookbook, including sushi, rice and noodle dishes, over the last few weeks and I was so impressed by how well everything turned out. In the introduction, you'll discover this author went to a lot of trouble to meet as many grandmothers as possible in her favourite regions in Japan so she could record a great number of recipes for this cookbook and then adapt these recipes to include her own individual twists.

It’s this energy and authenticity which makes this cookbook so great. Thanks to this cookbook, I’ve been creating the kind of Japanese dishes I’ve always wanted to make and that’s regional dishes and home-style cooking that have never been translated into English until now. This is one of the best written Japanese cookbooks I've come across.

The food you could only expect to eat if you were travelling the length and breadth of Japan, staying with families along the way who really know how to cook healthy, delicious and wholesome Japanese food that’s been passed on from one generation to the next. I have been using it for meals for the past 2 weeks and have found all recipes very tasty.
