3.0 out of 5 stars I love Japanese food, December 2, 2000

By 

Serena (San Fran) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vegetarian Table: Japan (Paperback)

and I'm a vegetarian, so I was excited to see this books. Most Japanese recipes include some sort of fish product so this book was a good find. The recipes concentrate mainly on low-fat dishes where I would have like to see a combonation of low and moderate fat recipes. I also would have like to see more info on vegetarian versions of sushi, tempura , you know, Japanese fast food. But still, a good book--probably one of the few of its kind.
