But I'll watch for 'Cafe Japan' when I'm out and about. -- Nick, Cogito, ergo armatum sum Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops! You are not forgotten. Thanks. |

She is frowned upon by the Japanese members within the group as her books are so basic. In saying that, she held a sushi class at the beginning of this month that was particularly well received. She is respected, but her recipes can sometimes be basic. I also find her cookbooks extremely useful and extremely user friendly for a non native. FWIW, 2 other books that I find useful are The Classic Rice Cookbook by Junko Takagi (ISBN: 0-87040-968-9)and The Japanese Vegetarian Cookbook by Patricia Richfield (ISBN: 0- 7499-1412-2). Both should make welcomed additions to any budding Japanese food lover. -- Graeme www.grocerytrader.co.uk |

I noticed with the Cafe Japan and the bento one that similar or more current recipes and quality photography are probably the sorts of things that are in Japanese magazines as a matter of course. Chinese magazines have them but I can't read Chinese. I find choosing a Chinese cookbook overwhelming. I'm not sure I can afford to indulge in more of her titles as they all do sound like foundation but definitely Cafe Japan is not comprehensive. I'm not looking to be thorough, I just need a boost as I am tired of cooking. |
