About the book: These 140 recipes—created by seven remarkable Japanese chefs—use local, seasonal ingredients to deliver intense, sophisticated flavors in an approachable way. Each of these Franco-Japanese, Italianate-Japanese and classic, yet modern Japanese dishes have been meticulously tested in the author's home kitchen.
Hachisu's passion for food traditions is shared by the chefs and artisans—making this book an inspiration for anyone who appreciates food on a deeply personal level. Yet it is also a cookbook to be splashed on, marked up, and used to reproduce the very best that Japanese cuisine has to offer in their own kitchens. Nancy Singleton Hachisu is a native Californian married to a Japanese farmer who has lived in semi-rural Saitama Prefecture since 1988. She is a James Beard Award-winning author of five books including Japan: The Cookbook and Japan: The Vegetarian Cookbook. Hachisu has written for Saveur, Food & Wine, Travel & Leisure, and she participated in the "Salt" episode of the Netflix series Salt Fat Acid Heat.
