Japanese Soul Cooking
By Tadashi Ono & Harris Salat
For the home cook, easy, simple, step-by-step…
Uh oh, it’s not just for the home cook. But, it’s for the “American” home cook.
These are all words that make me very nervous when I’m glancing through a cookbook. Don’t these words imply an over-simplified version of the real thing? But, in this case, simplicity is a beautiful thing. And, the truth of the matter is that a novice must start somewhere. If this is your starting point, it’s a kickstart in the right direction. It will take you down a path that will have you craving more …more knowledge and more food.
This book is a rustic food feast for the eyes. And, it offers the building blocks to make your very own bowl of ramen when you aren’t in the mood to venture out on a cold winter night. What more do you want? You might want a well-stocked fridge and pantry, too.
I want to try it all. Ok, maybe not all, the recipe for “Napolitan” spaghetti will be getting a pass in our house.
Christmas gift to myself, check.
