My favorite cookbook


This lady is supposed to be the Japanese Martha Stewart. I picked this up at the local Japanese market about a year ago and I don't regret it one bit. The pictures are appealing to the eyes and the recipes are easy to follow. It's been a great way to learn different techniques to make a variety of appetizing Japanese dishes. 

It always sucks when I'm looking forward to making something and realize that I'm missing some of the ingredients in the recipe. With this book though, I didn't have to go out and buy a million different things that I would only end up using once and then have to throw away. Mirin, a sweet viscousy liquid, and corn starch were all I really needed, and I use them all the time!
