A WORD FROM THE JAPANESE FOOD EDITOR
Irashai masai! Welcome to the Japanese Food site! IŽm Sherry Van Der Elst and IŽve enjoyed a 15-year love affair with Japanese food. Here, you too will discover the gastronomical delights of Japanese cooking!
YouŽll learn how to cook authentic Japanese dishes, find dozens of simple and delicious recipes--many of them created, modified, tweaked, amended and perfected in my own professional test kitchen--and take a journey through Japanese history and culture.
YouŽll find names and descriptions of traditional Japanese ingredients and learn where to shop for them. YouŽll discover the fascinating world of Japanese fruit and vegetable carvings, explore Japanese philosophy and culture and learn about Japanese wine and beer.
And because learning to cook well involves more than just knowing how to follow a recipe, youŽll also find a wealth of useful cooking tips and techniques.
Is there a tool or an ingredient you need but canŽt find? A recipe or idea youŽd like to suggest? Then donŽt hesitate to send me an email. Comments and critiques are welcome too.
