Most cookbooks are organised by ingredient. This one is organised by what you do to it, and that is the reason to own it. Dressed, vinegared, deep-fried, simmered, steamed, stir-fried, grilled, pickled, sweet. Learn one chapter and you can cook whatever the market had. It happens to be vegetarian, and it happens to be Hachisu, the most trusted voice in Japanese home cooking.
The LADJA team uses it for:
- The pickled chapter, again and again
- Simmered and steamed vegetables on a weeknight
- Vinegared dishes, for the acid a meal needs
- The notes on ingredients and tradition between the recipes
From the publisher:
‘Extraordinary … a must have book for anyone who loves vegetables!’ – Amanda Cohen, James Beard-nominated chef and owner of Dirt Candy
