Reviews

"I love all of Nancy Singleton Hachisu's books, but this is the one I'll use most. The recipes are (as always) clear and each one that I've made has come out as described...I especially appreciate that Nancy is so in tune with the quality of her ingredients and takes pains to describe them accurately. This alone makes me trust the recipes and Nancy's broad knowledge of Japanese food. Japan: The Cookbook is a wonderful book to cook from, look through,and live with."—Deborah Madison

"[A] new window into Japanese cuisine. Familiar cooking techniques are applied in ways I've never seen... What animates the book isn't just Nancy Singleton Hachisu's research but her lived experience of community and tradition. So many seasonal vegetables star in her recipes that I've already found myself consulting the book after visiting the farmers' market."—Jonathan Kauffman, author, Hippie Food: How Back-to-the-Landers, Longhairs and Revolutionaries Changed the Way We Eat
