informative inspiring slow-paced

4.0

First off, this book is beautiful: the photos are amazing and the overall design is spare but really lovely. The recipes are simple to follow without being boring or too basic. My only issue with this cookbook is, to be perfectly frank, I'm tired of knowing a cookbook author's entire life story. This feels like a trend that started with cooking blogs in the early 2000s and I wish it would go away. A LOT of this book is given over to the author's personal family history and it doesn't really add much to the book.

I love the writing and how it makes Japanese cooking accessible.
