“Hiroko Shimbo’s The Japanese Kitchen is as important as Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking for anyone who wants to understand the richness and complexity of Japanese Cuisine”
Mark Miller, the chef-owner of Coyote Cafe
“The Japanese Kitchen is an exceptionally clear guide to Japan’s most classic dishes. But it is also a surprising exploration of the flavors that can be achieved when a chef weaned on green tea starts dabbling in sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese….This is about as good as it gets.”
New York Times
“Hiroko Shimbo’s new book, The Japanese Kitchen, is a god-send. While there are many books on sushi and a few other specific aspects of the cuisine, this is one of the few Western attempts at a full examination.
