Book Reviews of Japanese Homestyle Cooking
Book Review: Traditional Japanese home cooking
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite Japanese cookbook in English. I've owned it for about 7 years already, and my copy is bookmarked all over the place. I am a 3rd generation Japanese American, and this is the cooking my obaachan (grandmother) used to make. Everything is explained clearly. You will have to go and explore a Japanese grocery to get many of the ingredients, but that's to be expected for authentic flavors. Highly recommended.Book Review: "Homestyle"
Summary: 3 Stars
Don't buy this book if you expect to make anything that you would see on a standard Japanese table. I was given it after I expressed a desire to make some of the foods I'd learned to love living in Japan and was sorely disapointed. The pictures are lovely, however, and if you are just going for intresting dishes its not that bad. Its a lovely thing to page through to work up an appatite.Book Review: Great Book for Beginning Chefs

This is a great book for those of us who don't cook very often. The recipes are not quick but they're easy, and there are enough choices to make up for the occasional lack of utensils. This book is also available in English in Japan, which is helpful for those of us who are mada nihongo ga jouzu ni narimasen.Book Review: Simple Recipes with Colourful and Enticing Pictures
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the range of recipes and ease of preparation. Only problem is that lots of the ingredients are not available in the States and some improvisation is required. But with the detailed step-by-step pictures, a newbie to cooking can easily learn the ropes!Book Review: Lovely book.

Very nice - I love the illustrations and photos!
I find I needed to pair it with a dictionary for shopping, though.
