An Ocean of Flavor: The Japanese Way With Fish and Seafood [Hardcover]

Elizabeth Andoh (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Andoh, an authority on Japanese cuisine and culture, turns to food from the sea in this inviting new collection featuring a wide range of dishes. Andoh uses authentic Japanese techniques and seasonings, but her clear instructions and sensible adaptations make these unusual dishes accessible to any American home cook. The recipe notes describe the Japanese use and presentation of each dish; a "Pantry" section demystifies the special ingredients; informative sidebars offer helpful preparation tips. Highly recommended. JS

More About the Author

I was born and raised in America though Japan has been my home for more than four decades. As you can see from my photo, I am not ethnically Japanese.

My formal culinary training was taken at the Yanagihara School of Traditional Japanese Cuisine, in Tokyo. In 1972 I began my own culinary arts program, A Taste of Culture, that combines spicy tidbits of food lore with practical tips and skill-building lessons on how to prepare Japanese food. My programs are conducted in Japan (Tokyo & Osaka) and offer a unique opportunity for foreign residents and visitors from overseas to explore and enjoy Japan's culture through its food.

I publish an electronic newsletter about 6 times a year. Each issue includes a short essay/story focused on some aspect of Japan's food culture. Each edition of the newsletter includes several photo-illustrated recipes related to the chosen theme. Recipes can be downloaded and printed out, making it easy for subscribers to take into the kitchen when they cook. A Taste of Culture's newsletters are free-of-charge, though permission-based.
