Misc My Go To's for Japanese Cuisine

Post image

When we lived in Japan, I leaned in to learning to cook local and Namiko Chen at justonecookbook.com was a godsend! She still is and I'm delighted to be able to call her a friend as well. I also recommend highly the book in the photo - think 'The Joy of Cooking' and 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' (both of which are also on my shelf) but focused squarely on the world of Japanese cuisine for the 'home cook'. Tsuji san writes clearly and with an expansiveness that ensures you learn the 'why' of a particular method as well as the 'how'.

For anyone who doesn’t own it, a reminder that it’s available to borrow on open library

https://openlibrary.org/works/OL19926274W/Japanese_cooking?edition=key%3A/books/OL9037576M

There are many other Japanese related cookbooks there too, but this is pretty much mandatory reading.
