". . .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

deepened and defined it." —Jonathan Hayes in The New York Times
"A complete guide to Japanese cooking, this collection is a
must-have for anyone interested in Japanese food or culture."
—Publishers Weekly
"My go-to for reference and classic recipes." —Debra Samuels, The
Boston Globe
"A core addition to any and all personal, professional, or
community library multicultural cookbook collections." —Midwest
Book Review
