Japanese Home Cooking: Simple Meals, Authentic Flavors by Sonoko Sakai

4.0

This is a lovely cookbook that reads like great non-fiction. Though the recipes are not new to anyone already familiar with Japanese cuisine, this is still very enjoyable. Every section has an introduction to that aspect of Japanese cuisine, its history, tradition, and significance. She also does a wonderful job at making "traditional" ingredients accessible for this side of the world. There is a lot of love and reverence in this book.
