Reviews / Votes
". . .quite the most illuminating text around on Japanese food. . ."-Nigella Lawson". . .this is much more than a cookbook. It is a philosophical treatise about the simple art of Japanese cooking. Appreciate the lessons of this book, and you will understand that while sushi and sashimi were becoming part of American culture, we were absorbing much larger lessons from the Japanese. We were learning to think about food in an entirely new way." -from the new Foreword by Ruth Reichl
