Great book - really informative,
By A Customer
This review is from: At the Japanese Table (Paperback)
This book is a great introduction to Japanese cooking. It covers everything from sushi to noodles to soup. If you want to learn about what kind of plates to serve dinner on, look here. There's even information about how to hold your chopsticks. I was so inspired I went out, bought the ingredients, and made dinner out of the book the first night I had it.

This review is from: Halloween Activity Bk 10c Display: At the Japanese Table: New and Traditional Recipes (Paperback)
I have an old copy of this book that got so worn out that I had to buy a new one. If you want to be able to make the essential Japanese dishes this is the book. It is just incredibly easy to use. It covers all of the major types of Japanese dishes and sauces.
