Japanese Family-Style Recipes
Japanese cooking is traditionally done with a variety of dishes, each on its own small plate. This gives a beautiful visual appeal as well as encourages healthy eating - you go slowly through your options, enjoying them at your leisure, filling up slowly and naturally. Unlike other cultures where they restrict you to courses in a certain order, in Japanese cuisine you take your own pace, eat at your own style.
Japanese Family-Style Recipes offers delicious recipes accompanied by full color, lovely photos. The book is very nicely designed so it lays out flat and gives you full access to the recipe without weights or other devices. My only real complaint about the layout is that they hide all the nutrition information elsewhere, so you have to cross-reference to find it. Also, they only show calories, protein, sodium, and fat - but not carbs or sugar. Those watching their sugar intake (diabetics) would really want that information.
That being said, the cookbook is great. The dishes are delicious. The photos are superb and help you really see what you're making. They help bring the visual beauty to the dish as well as the flavor combinations. No matter what your eating aims, you are sure to find something in here that is delicious and perfect. Want to eat more vegetables? There are many recipes which are quite tasty. Interested in soy / tofu dishes? You're all set!
Highly recommended.
