Japanese Cuisine

A charming illustrated guide to the basics of Japanese food… As much a guide to eating in Japan as cooking your own food at home. * Stained Page News *This book is priceless as it explores Japanese cuisine through beautiful artwork, anecdotes, histories, stories, recipes and more. It showcases different styling, ingredients and even the utensils you’ll need. Want to learn all about creating sushi? How about the proper way to use chopsticks, knives and choosing the correct soy. The book is slim, compact, yet delivers a powerful storyline. – Rita DeMontis * Toronto Sun *This little nifty reference work contains many recipes, anecdotes, histories, stories, maps, techniques, stylings, utensils, native ingredients – all wonderfully illustrated with watercoloured drawings. It can answer many questions: how to make sushi, miso soup, bento boxes; how to use Japanese knives, chopsticks, cooking vessels, seaweed. There is a special section on ramen and its many distinctive regional variations. Very lovingly produced, right down to the Japanese pictographs. – Dean Tudor * Gothic Epicures Blog *Very lovingly produced, right down to the Japanese pictographs. * Gothic Epicures *
