'An exquisite but refreshingly down to earth guide to everyday Japanese and Yoshoku (think East meets West) cooking, with recipes that inspire and invite.' - Nigella Lawson 'Every time I look at this book I feel a lightness. The inside is as lovely as the cover.' - Diana Henry Practically any home-cooked Japanese meal revolves around rice. It sits beside miso soup, pickles, tofu and a piece of grilled fish at breakfast. It soaks up the sauce in a comforting donburi bowl, or is wrapped in nori for the ultimate portable lunch – onigiri. And it's there for dinner, perhaps served with a pickled plum, some mild Japanese curry, braised fish or even a Japanese-style Hamburg steak. The everyday meals, cooked in the homes of Japanese mothers and grandmothers, is the food that Emiko grew up with. They're the dishes she makes for her own children: simple, satisfying food like tamagonogohan (stir fried egg and rice), soba noodle soup, Japanese curry, yakisoba, and miso soup, prepared with whatever seasonal vegetables happen to be around. Unlike what many people think, Japanese home cooking is not fiddly, nor time consuming. It's quick and remarkably simple, thanks to the Japanese philosophy that fresh, seasonal food doesn't need much to enhance its natural flavor. “Gohan to me means the everyday home-cooked meal. Nothing fussy. It’s quick and easy, but nourishing. A meal made with love.” “这是一本精致但令人耳目一新的日本和Yoshoku(认为东方与西方相遇)日常烹饪指南,食谱鼓舞人心,引人入胜。”-奈杰尔拉·劳森 “每次看这本书,我都感觉很轻松。里面和封面一样漂亮。”-戴安娜·亨利 几乎所有的日本家常菜都是以米饭为中心的。早餐时,它放在味噌汤、泡菜、豆腐和一块烤鱼旁边。它可以把酱汁浸泡在一个舒适的汤布里碗里,或者裹在意大利面里,做成终极的便携式午餐——onigiri。晚餐时也可以放在那里,也许可以配上腌李子、一些温和的日本咖喱、红烧鱼,甚至是日式汉堡牛排。 每天的饭菜都是在日本母亲和祖母的家里烹制的,是Emiko长大的食物。这些都是她为自己的孩子们做的菜:简单而令人满意的食物,如tamagonoghan(炒蛋和米饭)、荞麦面汤、日本咖喱、日式烤肉和味噌汤,用任何时令蔬菜烹制。 与许多人的想法不同,日本的家常菜既不繁琐,也不耗时。它快速而简单,这要归功于日本的哲学,即新鲜的时令食品不需要太多就能增强其自然风味。 “Gohan对我来说意味着每天的家常菜。没有什么挑剔的。它快速简单,但营养丰富。一顿充满爱的饭。”
