Product Description
Product Description
Nobu’s restaurants are known the world over for the quality of their ingredients and for the skill and originality with which the food is prepared and presented. Now, in this first cookbook by Nobu to focus on vegetable dishes, the master chef shares his expertise and deep knowledge of Japanese cuisine in sixty recipes that showcase vegetables in all their variety.
Throughout the book, the emphasis is on fine and healthy Japanese dining. Nobu uses a wide range of cooking techniques—from marinating and pickling to steaming, roasting, boiling, frying, grating, etc.—to bring out the full flavors and textures of the vegetables. He also introduces tofu and yuba, both traditional Japanese ingredients made from soybeans, and offers ten recipes for vegetable sweets and fifteen for cocktails.

Nobu's first vegetarian book and I have to say it isn't great. Some interesting points about umami and creating vegetarian dashi but the dishes aren't all great. There are some interesting salsas, dressings and combinations but a lot of the ingredients will be difficult for most people to obtain. I think there are probably better Asian themed vegetable cookbooks than this.

I found this book as I was looking for a good Japanese vegan recipe book... the recipes look so lovely... but as I read through the ingredient list, I realised I am living in the wrong country... Yes, I have asian supermarkets nearby and tried really hard to find the ingredients -I only found daikon (japanese radish)- the rest of ingredients were all alien both to me, and the oriantal shop assistants I asked. If you live in Japan, get this book right now as it looks really promising. If not, stay well away from it. I didn't find any recipe that used egg/dairy/honey or any other animal excrations, which is positive.

Many health freaks and vegetarians only care about if the right ingredients are in their meal and not how it tastes - in fact they don't taste it but read it, in the sense that if the ingredients on the labels on what the buy is what they consider the right ones, they buy it and eat it regardless of the taste. I know from experience cause I've had a very big vegetarian restaurant for ten years, where I wanted to serve tasty vegetarian food - and also had 'normal' ones btw.
What I wanna say by this is that this book is probably not for the kinda health freaks I described above. This book is about taste and everything in there tastes really good. I love it and would highly recommend it as I think a big part of being healthy is to enjoy what you doing - and eating what's in this book is really enjoyable!
