Book Reviews of Japanese Homestyle Cooking
Book Review: Perfect for me
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best layout with lots of color pictures to illustrate step by step the recipes. I have a handful of well rated Japanese cookbooks but this one has the best layout so it is my favorite and the one I want to recommend. It makes me WANT to get cooking.
This book's style is of the kind found in books that are sold in Asian bookstores.
As with all the Japanese cookbooks I own, the writers mention Chinese cooking to compare and declare that something is similar but uniquely Japanese. However, that is not true but the authors are not authorities on Chinese cooking and culture so they can't be expected to know everything or anything true about Chinese authenticity. I bear this in mind and forgive the errors because I buy the book out of interest in Japanese not Chinese cooking. This book contains much fewer references and assumptions to Chinese than the other cookbooks such as the false claim that the cheap bamboo steamer baskets are the archetypal Chinese steamer equipment and that the square steamers or metal steamers are not Chinese. One can say that this is more procedure and less editorializing than other cookbooks.
This book could be sold in a Chinese bookstore without being offensive and would delight the Chinese with its recipes. I recommend this book and wish the author had written more than two books.
