Japan: The Vegetarian Cookbook, edito da Phaidon, è un’opera fondamentale per tutti gli amanti della gastronomia giapponese. Questo dettagliato libro di cucina dimostra come la cucina giapponese non sia solo sushi e pesce crudo. Il volume include oltre 250 ricette vegetariane, deliziose e versatili, capaci di allietare i palati di tutti, anche i “carnivori”.

In this collection of new recipes, Nancy Singleton Hachisu, the most authoritative voice in Japanese home cooking today, showcases Japanese vegetarian dishes, bringing the exquisite flavors of the nation’s elegant cuisine to those who follow a plant-based diet or want to lower the amount of fish and meat they eat.

Recipes are divided by cooking style – dressed, vinegared, deep-fried, simmered, steamed, stir-fried, grilled, pickled, and sweet – alongside which Hachisu shares her expert knowledge of the ingredients, culture, and traditions of this unique culinary style.
