Book Reviews of Harumi's Japanese Home Cooking: Simple, Elegant Recipes for Contemporary Tastes
Book Review: Simple, easy and elegant
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't think I need to reiterate the reasons why this is a good Japanese homecooking book to have, the previous 5 reviewers have done a wonderful job.
This book is particularly useful if you want a taste of what's really going on in the modern Japanese home kitchen - they really do incorporate a bit of everything into their cooking, a little French (gratins), a little Chinese (dumplings) and a little Western flavouring.
What makes this book a must have is the simplicity of it. The recipes are easy to follow even for novice cooks, yet the finished product is delicious and elegant. Harumi also provides tips for substition when a certain "traditional" Japanese ingredient is unavailable.
This book can at times seem to overtly sing the praises of Japanese cuisine (she thinks Japanese beers are the best! YIKES!) and may seem a tad bit immodest, but the recipes, narration and pictures (I actually went out and bought a tamago pan) makes it a worthwhile purchase. One of the easier and less frilly Japanese cookbooks out there.
