There's a delicious color photo of each recipe, and even the typically Japanese ingredients needed are photographed and described at the end of the book. The method of preparation is clear and simple, and the book really makes you feel confident of spectacular results.

This is a fabulous cookbook. It's the best I've found on Japanese cusine. Beautiful photos generously illustrate recipes as well as preparation techniques. An added delight is the illustrated index of ingredients and utensils. But the recipies are the best part of all. They are superb in taste yet not difficult to prepare. This wonderful book lives up to its title!

I LOVE Keiko Hayashi and have enjoyed her cookbooks for almost 20 years! In fact, I'd have to admit, she taught me how to cook Japanese (wa-shoku).

Simple & Delicious certainly lives up to its title and is a delight for the eyes and the palate. My only request, Ms. Hayashi, is to provide some sympathetic substitutes for those hard-to-find Japanese ingredients, so Westerners can still complete your wonderful recipes.

Thanks for spreading the joy of great Japanese cuisine.

One can't find a better pictorial cookbook ever. Though the cooking is rather simple to follow, the outstanding feature of this book is the series of pictorial instructions. I also like the examples of ingredients depicted in photos. There're pictures galore throughout the book. A picture is worth a thousand words. I rate this book in the best top 5 Japanese cookbooks for beginners and intermediates.
