## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent book
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2022*

Harumi has great style, good taste, and easy to follow recipes to unlock traditional Japanese dishes. Try Chinese style dumplings ( gyoza), pan-fried noodles with pork and boo Choy, deep fried tofu with Japanese dressing(agedashi dofu), and my personal favorite Tofu steak. Everything I have cooked from this book was delicious!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An easy introduction to Japanese homestyle cooking
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2007*

Harumi's recipes are just the thing if you'd like to try your hand at some simple Japanese dishes. Her directions are clear and most of the ingredients are not too hard to find. If you try her recipes for green beans with ground meat or green beans with black sesame sauce, for instance, you will have created dishes that are simple, pleasing, and, well, Japanese. And if you've ever been to Japan and had that delicious pancake called okonomiyaki, then longed to reproduce it, Harumi gives you a pretty good recipe for making it right at home. Her variations on miso soup are good, too. I am less tempted by the "fusion" type dishes like "tofu with basil and gorgonzola dressing," which seem a bit odd to me. And the book does, annoyingly, lack an index, although it has a good glossary. I haven't tried all of her recipes, but my favorite so far is her easy and homey take on gyoza (dumplings). And although she has some recipes for making sushi, I'm leaving that job to the excellent sushi chefs in Portland (Maine).

    Good primer for homestyle Japanese cooking
  

*by Z***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2016*

Great book; I learned a lot about Japanese cooking. Most of the recipes are great. I had a couple of so-sos - her okonomiyaki batter is unusual, not the same as other recipes I've seen and it was a bit gummy. She also has a salmon recipe where she cooks the salmon plain in the microwave before assembling the dish. Sorry Harumi, but the thought of microwaved salmon was a bit horrifying; I pan-fried it instead. But overall a great cookbook. The best thing about it is that while Japanese cookbooks can tend toward the haute, with ornate, beautiful, technical dishes, Harumi's book focuses on homestyle recipes cooked every day in Japanese households, which is exactly what I was looking for.
