Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Japanse Cooking Comment: Its hard to follow up with this book, I don't know where to get ingredients, I prefer to buy a video next time, despite that there are many recopies in the book, but its not will organized too much text, I want something to go straight and show mew how, when I ma hungry I don't have time to read a novel Customer Rating: Summary: Easy to follow and recipes work! Comment: I loved this cookbook (as an owner of over 100) as it was easy to follow with readily available ingredients! The recipes that I've tried work, and taste like the food you eat at an "homey" Japanese restaurant. Customer Rating: Summary: A find! Comment: I received this cookbook as a gift from a relative -- and I still thank her every time I open it. Harumi Kurihara's first English-language cookbook is a find. While I would agree with other reviewers that the book provides a fusion approach to Japanese cuisine rather than a traditional one, Harumi's simplicity-driven style is both unintimidating and authentic. I found myself thinking differently about everything I cooked -- not just Japanese -- after I read her book and began trying her recipes. Most of the dishes are straightforward and involve few ingredients. While Harumi's suggestions about ingredient replacement are sound ones, I started seeking out more Japanese ingredients and was really pleased with the results. I often cook Harumi's recipes for dinner parties now and have received rave reviews from guests. I enjoy cookbooks most when the chef's personality shines through in a warm and inviting way, something that _Harumi's Japanese Cooking_ does splendidly. I highly recommend this book for home cooks interested in exploring international styles of cuisine without buying lots of new equipment or spending hours preparing each meal.
