Book Review: Variations on a Theme
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great little cookbook. It starts off with a very basic recipe for Miso soup. I'm convinced that anyone can look the basics of Japanese cooking, which really isn't that hard to learn. The interesting aspect is all the variations that follow like Miso soup with eggplant, or pork, or even carrots. This is where the strength of the book is. It shows standard favorites outside the box. For example Donburi is a great and filling lunch and there are many different kinds like egg and chicken, beef, tonkatsu, fried chicken but Kurihara offers Sukiyaki Don. Sukiyaki is a favorite dish around the world and its interesting to see how it translates into a donburi. Also, her recipes for Teriyaki burgers look good thanks to the beautiful photographs. There's also a good recipe for Beef and potato croquettes which is fine by itself. I like to make curry and use croquette and curry together. There are so many recipes and variations packed inside this cookbook. My other favorites are Grilled Salmon "Yuan" style, Green tea risotto ochazuke, and for desert White Chocolate cake (the white chocolate is inside the cake and not the frosting.) Ochazuke is a great dish that can be eaten any time. I like Ocazuke for breakfast, especially after drinking too much Chu hai or sake. Its the perfect hangover food. Compared to other cookbooks, this one is easy to jump into and start cooking with. You can learn the basic way and then learn how to improvise and combine many different Japanese and western elements.
