This book was hand-picked for review, from The Hermit Poet’s International Cookbook Collection.

Wow ! This is an outstanding comprehensive book on Japanese cooking. I have spent time in Japan and I must say that the Japanese people know how to cook and make sushi. This hardcover book will give you hours and hours and hours of enjoyment in the kitchen; experimenting with Japanese food.

The book is divided into part one and part two. There also includes a forward, introduction, new preface, preface, color plates, appendices, and color plates. For example; part one includes: the Japanese meal, ingredients, utensils, knives, selecting and cutting fish, basic stock, making soups, slicing serving sashimi, grilling and pan-frying, steaming, simmering, Japanese salads, sushi varieties, pickling vegetables, noodles, rice, sweets and tea.
