Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat: Secrets of My Mother's Tokyo Kitchen by Naomi Moriyama
4.0
I listened to this on audio, and enjoyed hearing the author read her own work. Her accent and her proper pronunciation of Japanese terms added to the telling of the book, which was sort of like an extended love letter to Japan and Japanese culture. The diet, as explained, does sound both tasty and healthy. It just sounds like a bit more bother than I'm used to, so I'm not sure I'll follow through on any of the recipes.
The audio is abridged--a newer audio would probably have an additional disc with the recipes and quotations and such available for access on a computer, but this didn't. So I supplemented with the physical book, admiring the recipes that I may or may not try.
A good challenge to eat healthier and live a healthy lifestyle, as the Japanese people have clearly been managing to do for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Also a really interesting little primer on Japanese culture and history. Being a short, easy read doesn't hurt either.
