Great Introduction to the Art of Japanese Cooking,
By
This review is from: Japanese Cooking, the Traditions, Techniques, Ingredients and Recipes (Paperback)
Japanese food is one of my favorite culinary traditions. However, where I live it is very hard to find a good authentic Japanese restaurant, and the ones that can be found tend to be overpriced. This cookbook serves the purpose of being a great introduction to the Japanese culinary techniques and recipes. The book is very detailed, and it's almost a textbook on Japanese cooking. The large introductory section gives a detailed account of all the main ingredients, cooking styles, and specialty dishes and utensils that are associated with Japanese cuisine. many of these are not readily accessible in a typical western kitchen, and you may find yourself shopping in specialty ethnic food stores or online in order to obtain the appropriate utensils or ingredients. Nonetheless, if you are willing to invest time and effort the rewards of making your own Japanese-style dish are immeasurable. You are most likely not going to have a total success with every dish from the get go, especially with some of the more demanding recipes, but with time and patience you will be able to master most of them. This cookbook is extremely detailed and informative. It also includes many large, clear pictures of the dishes that you are making, and these will be particularly useful in giving you the idea of what you are aiming for. Book's large format is a great help in the kitchen, as it is easy to follow the directions directly while in the process of cooking. overall, this is truly a great cookbook and it's one of my all time favorites.

This review is from: Japanese Cooking, the Traditions, Techniques, Ingredients and Recipes (Paperback)
I found this book after I got home from living in Japan. I wish I had had it then!! It does a great job of explaining history, culture, etiquette, tools and ingredients of Japanese cooking. As a representative of the Japanese Exchange & Teaching (JET) Alumni Association of Wisconsin, I highly recommend this book to all the new JETs that are moving to Japan. It will make stocking your kitchen & fridge much easier. Recipes are great.
