Customer Reviews

Not the best Japanese cookbook on the market.
Beautifully illustrated and clearly explained, as we have come to expect of the Australian's Women's weekly series. My only beef is that the recipe line-up is far from inspiring. If you want to learn how to make a range of sushi and sashimi, this is probably for you. I was hoping for lots of yummy rice, noodle and stir-fry dishes, but there are fewer of these than I would have liked ... and no desserts. Having said that, it has a very helpful, illustrated glossary. Still, this book adds little if anything to the chapter on Japanese cooking in Asian Food (by Charmaine Solomon), which remains the best pan-Asian all-rounder, in my view.
