Japanese Home Cooking

In this book cooking teacher and food writer Sonoko Sakai gives a comprehensive guide to making authentic Japanese dishes in the comfort of your home. Divided into two sections Sonoko gives an introduction to the Japanese pantry, familiarizing the reader with ingredients essential and sometimes unique to Japanese cooking. She expounds in detail on the fundamental components of Japanese dishes and helps incorporate their flavours into simple, everyday dishes through proper seasoning and authentic cooking methods.

The recipes in the book were all collected by Sonoko herself based on the ingredients available in her home in California, with some adapted and some created created by her through decades of experience in the kitchen.
