Cook Japanese At Home

"Another year, another Japanese home cooking book! Yet as common as they’ve become, there is still something new to celebrate in each offering. Here are familiar favorites like tempura, sushi and okonomiyaki – but in this generous compendium of 200 recipes, you’ll also find intriguing Western-influenced hybrids like miso and tofu gratin and Japanese beef bourguignon and a melt-in-your-mouth roast pork belly with gingered apple sauce. Writer and teacher Kimiko Barber is a model of clarity, and the text is an appealing entry point for anyone interested in adding some Japanese repertoire to their regular rotation."
