Vegan JapanEasy: Classic & Modern Vegan Japanese Recipes to Cook at Home

Il libro è esteticamente meraviglioso. Le ricette sono eccezionali e ben spiegate. Sono presenti anche molte foto bellissime. Consiglio l'acquisto se si è interessati alla cucina vegana giapponese (e se si conosce un po'di inglese, ovviamente!).

Some of the negative reviews nearly put me off. I’m a decent cook and have always enjoyed a challenge so digging deeper into Japanese cuisine is something I’ve always wanted to do. The first big hurdle for most people is the investment in ingredients - but after that you can make a lot of tasty and nutritious meals reasonably cheaply. I’ve made seven of the dishes now and have enjoyed them all. The photos are inspiring and the recipes are just different enough to keep your interest. For a lot of people anything with a tomato-based base is “Italian” - so by that reckoning anything with a dashi base is Japanese. Sort of. I’ve made four different dashi bases and they are all lovely. The addition of seaweed to my diet has been interesting too. I now want to explore more of this cuisine. Glad I bought this book.

Très bon livre, j'ai pris une version d'occasion qui est arrivée dans l'état décrit. Le livre est très bien édité, les photos sont très jolies, très beau pour offrir. Les recettes semblent faisable sans avoir besoin de moults ingrédients difficiles d'accès.

My reason for writing this review is twofold: one is to note what a wonderful cookbook this is and second to let people know that the one-star review on Amazon is totally untrue – perhaps about another book?? This book does not start with anything about Woody Harrelson or any of the nasty things the reviewer mentioned. [I have reported this review, but to date, Amazon has not removed it.] From the Introduction: "Japanese Cuisine: Fatty Tuna! Wagu Beef! Dried Fish! Pork Broth! Fried Chicken! Squid Guts! Eggs! Eggs, Everywhere! It’s a minefield For Mindful Vegans. OR SO IT SEEMS. Of course, there are many Japanese delicacies that are off-limits for anyone who refrains from animal products. But Japanese cuisine in general is actually quite vegan-friendly – an enormous amount of Japanese food is inherently vegan, and much more can be made vegan with just a simple substitution or two…" I have purchased all of Tim Anderson’s Japanese cookbooks and recommend all of them. I find them very accessible with a lot of good information. The recipes I’ve tried have all worked and were very good. This is not a shojin ryori cookbook. Mr. Anderson explains that this traditional Buddhist temple food is “intrinsically linked to bigger concepts of balance, spiritual well-being, asceticism, seasonality and mindfulness that [he] couldn’t do justice to.” The book has sections on • Basic Seasonings & Sauces • Snacks, Small Dishes & Sides • Big Dishes • Big Rice & Noodle Dishes • Desserts & Drinks So, whether you are vegan or not, this is a great cookbook that includes lots of photos and lots of vegan recipes, including ones for dashi, tofu, several versions of ramen – (one using eggplant and zucchini) and vegan sushi as well as a recipe for Mock Meat Menchi Katsu (Breaded and Fried Vegan Burger Patties).

Realmente todas la recetas dicen fácil...me hace pensar qué realmente lo es. Intenté el kimchi :)
