About the Author
Harumi Kurihara is the best-known cookery writer in Japan, with a public profile similar to that of Delia Smith in the UK. Her cooking and lifestyle books and magazines and media-friendly charisma have brought her phenomenonal success, based on a down-to-earth, unpretentious approach to stylish living and eating. She has made the traditional Japanese values of elegance and simplicity relevant and accessible to millions. Kurihara's powerful popular appeal has seen her sell more than 13 million cookery books and magazines - her glossy quarterly Suteki Recipe (Beautiful Recipes), which features her own recipes, home decoration ideas and lifestyle tips, is always a bestseller. Her Yutori no kukan (A space for comfortable living) chain of shops sells her own Harumi K. brand of simple and stylish household items like tableware, homewear and gardening tools; each has a cafe where customers can sample her recipes. Thirteen Harumi K. concessions have been opened in department stores all over Japan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple Japanese Cooking, 21 Jan 2005
This review is from: Harumi's Japanese Cooking (Conran Octopus Cookery) (Hardcover)
Being a novice of Japanese cooking I decided that I would need a book that would offer simple recipes and background to Japanese cuisine. So I plumped for this book and was extremely happy when I first opened the book and skimmed through the pages.

Harumi Kurihara is very much like our own Delia; her food is basic to the Japanese person like a roast dinner is to us. But to us Japanese cooking is very new and exciting so we need an author that can give us the basics of Japanese cooking. She explains the various ingredients very well and there are some ingredients that are used throughout her dishes, these are namely mirin and dashi. I have had difficulty in finding mirin and the creation of dashi might be too difficult for basic cooks, but she sometimes give alternatives. She includes at the back of the book a list of Japanese food related shops in the UK which is helpful to a certain extent.

The book is beautifully laid out into sections which are as follows: - Appetisers, Soups and Noodles, Rice, Tofu, Seafood, Chicken and Egg, Beef and Pork, Sushi, Vegetables and Desserts. Plus you have a small section on how to use the book and a small glossary.

There are many mouth watering pictures in this book which makes it delightful to look through. With each recipe there is an accompanying picture so you have an idea of what it is supposed to look like. In my view it is always hard to try and make the food that is created look anything like the pictures in the book. But then again it is like this for most recipe books.

The Tofu section deserves a mention as she highlights seven dishes which are creative and awe inspiring for people like me who has hardly ever used Tofu. The Sushi section also deserves a mention as the pages look gorgeous, with the several different types of sushi you can make. Also the suggested toppings that you can add make this sushi section really handy.

This book is an excellent start for anybody wanting to cook Japanese food. It would have been nice to have included a section on food that is eaten at special occasions such as the Japanese New Year. But overall it is a great book that will allow you to gain access to the world of Japanese food. I urge you if you are looking for a Japanese cook book to buy this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars beautifully presented, delicious recipes, 28 Feb 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Harumi's Japanese Cooking (Conran Octopus Cookery) (Hardcover)
I've thought about buying this for a while then did last week. Tried 3 recipes over the weekend - really good food, I was impressed - I'm planning to try quite a lot more. It's a very good looking book, well laid out with nice photos. Most of the ingredients are pretty easy to get hold of (well if you have access to a Japanese food store) and substitutes are almost always listed. It didn't get 5 stars because I had problems with one of the dishes (the instructions for the warm aubergine salad says to microwave the aubergine - DON'T - it makes the skin really tough) and also the fact that it doesn't give much guidance on putting menus together (e.g. it says "serves 4" but you need to combine with other dishes - but how many? what works well together?). But minor gripes aside this is an excellent book

5.0 out of 5 stars A Japanese Gourmand, 22 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Harumi's Japanese Cooking (Conran Octopus Cookery) (Hardcover)
Harumi's introduction of Western ingredients to the Japanese style of cooking is truly inspired. After all, the Italians wouldn't have spaghetti if Marco Polo hadn't brought noodles back from China. Many of Harumi's recipes are completely Japanese however, but her combination of traditional and Western foods (even Gruyere & Pesto!!) is innovative and exciting. As an English woman, brought up in Japan, I have had to make my own Japanese food at home since I have lived in the West Country where it is virtually unavailable. I consider myself to be well versed in Japanese cookery, but this book has opened a whole new world for me...... and there are plenty of recipes for the uninitiated.
