A sensitive book that taught me a lot in relatively few pages. The photos were beautiful and high quality, and the recipes are dependable. Ms. Andoh does a great job of breaking down the vocabulary and grammar of traditional Japanese cooking. I should emphasize that you will not see recipes like fried rice, shrimp tempura, or even teriyaki, which I know are American favorites, though reading through this book should more than give you the skills to prepare them. Through this book I came to the realization that I did not truly know what Japanese food was, in spite of having frequented Japanese restaurants all my life.Don't get me wrong, many flavors and textures should seem familiar to the palate of an American fan of Japanese restaurant food. Japanese food was a stranger at a party whom I had bumped into from time to time without ever being formally introduced. I know what it looked like, and some basic, obvious things about its personality. But now, thanks to this book, I feel that we are intimate friends. And there are many exciting things about it that I discovered for the first time.-Ludius9

Just got this today, and couldn't wait to begin reading. I love the insight into another culture, including words and names. I love the gentle philosophy involved in eating this way. I had to laugh when I realized after eating my supper tonight that I had--without thought--made a dish that included all five colors. This aligns well with the slow movements these days... being thoughtful about what/how you do, what/how you eat, what/how you create. I am grateful that I'm at a point in my life that I can be slow and thoughtful, to appreciate what I have and what I'm doing. -Mckenna Linn 

This book contains a wealth of information and authentic recipes from an American born woman who has spent most of her life in Japan. What I love about all of Elizabeth Andoh's books is that she teaches you not just how to do something but also why you do it that way. She is a gifted teacher and excellent writer. The recipes in this book has been tried and tested, so they work. Highly recommended! -DMR
