About the Author
Reiko Hashimoto has been teaching people the joys and pleasures of Japanese cooking via the cooking school classes she runs from her home for more than a decade. She previously taught Japanese cooking to the foreign community in Tokyo.
Along with Washoku, Washoku: Recipes from the Japanese Home Kitchen this is one of the very best books out there on Japanese home cooking. It has great, very successful recipes for dishes like Goma Ae and Tonkatsu.It also has great recipes for creating the building blocks of Japanese cooking, like dashi. It adapts many of its recipes for the modern home cook. For example, the dashi recipe doesn't have you soak the kombu overnight in the very traditional manner, but still provides great results that are both authentic and delicious.This is really a cookbook for people who want to make traditional Japanese home dishes. If you are a non-Japanese cook looking to replicate the dishes of your local Japanese restaurant, this is probably not the book for you. If you love traditional Japanese home dishes, you'll love this book. -Benjamin W.
If you want to do this style of cookery properly, and are only going to have one book, this is the one. It isn't just "Japanese cookery for beginner imbeciles" - you will learn far, far more, and go far further. (I actually have another Japanese cookery book, but this one is the one I reach for first). -Cuthberthus
I love this cook book, I’ve been cooking a lot of Japanese food for years and this book has great basics which are incredibly useful when you’re just a beginner but also to use on a daily basis as a reminder. So many delicious recipes, would definitely recommend buying this. -Fareena B.
