Chef Murata's "Kaiseki" is a beautifully illustrated cookbook that explores the art of traditional Japanese cuisine. It delves into the history, philosophy, and seasonal ingredients of kaiseki, featuring around twenty meticulously photographed dishes from each season. The book includes recipes and a glossary of kaiseki terms.
"Yoshihiro Murata, one of the most accomplished and respected figures in Japan's culinary world, has combined his expertise and artistry with his enthusiasm for teaching Japanese cooking to create this exciting new book. Japanese Home Cooking with Master Chef Murata presents over sixty healthy home recipes, from classic to modern, ranging from popular restaurant offerings like yakitori, tempura, and shabu shabu to typical home dishes like onigiri (rice balls), miso soup, and tonkatsu fried pork cutlets. All of the dishes can be made using Western kitchen tools and ordinary ingredients readily available from the supermarket; if a more exotic ingredient is called for, Murata suggests alternatives. And, while he strives to retain the authenticity of a recipe, he also recommends ways for the Western chef to adapt it."--Amazon.com
