The Gaijin Cookbook: Japanese Recipes from a Chef, Father, Eater, and Lifelong Outsider by Ivan Orkin, Chris Ying

5.0

Ugh I will be cooking everything in here for dinner for the foreseeable future. Have already made 3 things and they were delicious as expected.
This is a pretty accessible Japanese food cookbook! He tells you what the ingredients are and how to get them, but also has suggestions for substitutions that maybe easier to find. The intro made me tear up though. I've already gushed about his perspective in the review of his other cookbook and it hasn't changed in this one.
