Many people in the West are as familiar with Japanese cooking as they are with the Japanese language. Both aspects of Japanese life are fascinating, yet appear to be obscurely difficult to master.

Here are 54 dishes that you will find simple to make at home from ingredients to be found in most supermarkets and specialist stores. Each recipe explores a delicious range of flavors and textures.

Clear step-by-step instructions are provided for each dish, together with full color photographs. Basic preparatory techniques are described and the book contains expert guidance on the use of Japanese ingredients, utensils and equipment.

The sections on the etiquette of eating, preparing and serving a Japanese meal are valuable additions to a book that is an authentic and straightforward introduction to the art of one of the world’s great cuisines.
