Summary: Great intro
Review: A really nice cook book with lots of helpful photos of food and prep. I think the recipes are more *family-style* and seem familiar to me from local japanese resturants... This isnt a cook book of the more esoteric japanese cuisine...but that is probably a plus for an intitial cook book.If you live near an asian market you will have no trouble finding the ingrediants...even alot of the markets now stock most of it. What I cant find conveniently, I can order online at ethnic grocery stores. This has been a sturdy well made book . The spine hasnt broken despite repeated reading over several years and being layed flat for following recipes. The size is good also..its a large paperback. I wish that there were more recipes included, I think its a bit light on the number of recipes but all in all its one of my 3 favortie general *starter* cook books

Summary: Easy to use beginning Japanese cookbook
Review: I really like this book. The cooking instructions are simple, and most of these are family style cooking recipes, so they are not difficult to reproduce. However, I live near Asian markets, so I can buy precut blocks of fish for sushi. As a Chinese American, this book is in Chinese and English. Perfect to pass on to my daughter when her Chinese has improved. I highly recommend this book. People who are looking for more sophisticated cooking such as Kaiseki-ryori will NOT find it here.
