Product Description
Product Description
This beautifully illustrated collection of fifty-three recipes represents the best of Japanese home cooking, ranging from soups and main dishes to snacks and desserts. You'll find mouth-watering Chicken-and-Egg Donburi, delicious Yellowtail Teriyaki, and simple yet satisfying Salmon Tea Rice. Dishes Westerners have come to love include that simmering cauldron of beef, tofu, and vegetables known as sukiyaki; grilled chicken kebabs (yakitori); and crispy vegetable tempura.
Sure to appeal to America's renewed interest in the virtues of plain home cooking, Japanese Family-Style Recipes presents wholesome, tasty dishes that are not only low in calories but easily prepared by the busy cook in the average kitchen. Gone are the elaborate, time-consuming food preparation and arrangement methods typically associated with Japanese cooking. Written in a clear and practical style, each recipe is accompanied by a tantalizing color photo of the completed dish. Hints for ingredient substitutions are provided, and as a special bonus to the health-conscious cook, a recipe table providing a nutritional analysis per serving.

THE Japanese Cookbook To Buy!, 4 April 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Japanese Family-style Recipes (Hardcover)
This cookbook has recipes for food that Japanese people actually do eat in everyday life. While fish is a big part of the Japanese diet, sushi is a delicacy in Japan much as it is elsewhere in the world. This book offers some sushi recipes but more importantly offers the kind of stock Japanese meals that families really eat. I speak from experience, I stayed in Japan with a Japanese family for 2 months. Many of my favorite dishes from that stay are in this book. The instructions are clear and concise, the pictures are beautiful. If you appreciate Japanese food and want to make some meals for yourself this is the book for you.

My Favorite Japanese Cookbook, 18 Dec 1999
By Robert A. Bowers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Japanese Family-style Recipes (Hardcover)
My wife and I received this book as a gift from a Japanese exchange student 3 years ago. She used it to cook Japanese meals for us and now we use it at least once a week ourselves. We have purchased several other Japanese cookbooks since, but this is the very best we have seen. These are recipes that the Japanese actually prepare for themselves every day. Just an easy to understand cookbook with very delicious recipes. The photos of each recipe are also well photographed and appetizing.

Tasty, REAL Japanese food, 30 Nov 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Japanese Family-style Recipes (Hardcover)
When I was on business trips in Japan, my Japanese colleagues took good care of me. So in addition to the "fancy" food that guests usually get (Kaiseki-ryori--the kind where neither the host nor the waiters are really sure what the ingredients are), I got a good sampling of what regular people *really* eat in Japan. I found the "home-style" food to be tasty, even hearty, and eminently healthy too. On the last day of my last trip (alas, I'm not going back for a while!), I saw this book at the airport and bought it. Am I ever glad I did! It's typically Japanese in that you see what you get before you get it. Just as Japanese restaurants have models of the dishes outside, this book has appealing pictures of every single recipe. The recipes are easy to follow and the results are delicious. Even my Japan-sceptical boyfriend likes them.
