Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat: Secrets of My Mother's Tokyo Kitchen by Naomi Moriyama
informative
reflective
fast-paced
3.5
An easy-to-read book about typical Japanese home-cooked meals which the author claimed to be nutritious for our body. So much so that Japanese women tend to be able to keep being slim and looking younger than their peers in Western countries.
As a fellow Asian and as someone who has become familiar with Japanese cooking, most of the contents in the book are nothing new to me. The book was first published back in 2005 after all. Still, it's refreshing to read the author's anecdotes and some stories about mythical/lengendary/mythical samurai figures and the food they consumed.
The book also provides a lot of simple Japanese everyday meals and plans for breakfast, lunch and dinner which I fully intend to incorporate in my life going forward.
