Book Description
Sushi has been a favorite food among the Japanese for centuries. In fact, the first mention of sushi in Japanese literature dates as far back as the 8th century. Now, this highly nutritious and tasty cuisine is increasingly becoming as much a part of the Western culinary scene as bagels, burgers and burritos. Not only is sushi served in our finest restaurants, but it has become readily available at the corner deli and on our local supermarket shelves. Today, we can choose from a wide variety of sushi specialties, including rice topped with seafood and nori (seaweed paper) rolls with assorted fillings and vinegar-flavored rice. As the taste for sushi and other Japanese dishes such as onigiri grows, more and more people want to try their hands at making these treats themselves. The sushi recipes included in this book explain how to prepare the following: fillings for nori rolls, standard nori rolls, thin nori rolls, hand-rolled sushi, fillings for egg crepes, and fillings for sheets of fried tofu puss (aburage). The book also introduces recipes for onigiri, or rice balls, which are gaining in popularity in this country, and make delicious snacks or light meals to enjoy at home or on the go. The Japanese often accompany sushi rolls and onigiri with green tea or clear soup, and recipes for both are included here. The comb binding allows the book to lie flat, enabling the chef to follow the instructions with ease. Each recipe includes detailed directions and full-color photos showing the steps of preparation, as well as the finished dish.

The Art of Escapism Cooking
Author: Mandy Lee
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062940880
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 851
Book Description
In this inventive and intensely personal cookbook, the blogger behind the award-winning ladyandpups.com reveals how she cooked her way out of an untenable living situation, with more than eighty delicious Asian-inspired dishes with influences from around the world. For Mandy Lee, moving from New York to Beijing for her husband’s work wasn’t an exotic adventure—it was an ordeal. Growing increasingly exasperated with China’s stifling political climate, its infuriating bureaucracy, and its choking pollution, she began “an unapologetically angry food blog,” LadyandPups.com, to keep herself from going mad. Mandy cooked because it channeled her focus, helping her cope with the difficult circumstances of her new life. She filled her kitchen with warming spices and sticky sauces while she shared recipes and observations about life, food, and cooking in her blog posts. Born in Taiwan and raised in Vancouver, she came of age food-wise in New York City and now lives in Hong Kong; her food reflects the many places she’s lived. This entertaining and unusual cookbook is the story of how “escapism cooking”—using the kitchen as a refuge and ultimately creating delicious and satisfying meals—helped her crawl out of her expat limbo. Illustrated with her own gorgeous photography, The Art of Escapism Cooking provides that comforting feeling a good meal provides. Here are dozens of innovative and often Asian-influenced recipes, divided into categories by mood and occasion, such as: For Getting Out of Bed Poached Eggs with Miso-Browned Butter Hollandaise Crackling Pancake with Caramel-Clustered Blueberries and Balsamic Honey For Slurping Buffalo Fried Chicken Ramen Crab Bisque Tsukemen For a Crowd Cumin Lamb Rib Burger Italian Meatballs in Taiwanese Rouzao Sauce For Snacking Wontons with Shrimp and Chili Coconut Oil and Herbed Yogurt Spicy Chickpea Poppers For Sweets Mochi with Peanut Brown Sugar and Ice Cream Recycled Nuts and Caramel Apple Cake Every dish is sublimely delicious and worth the time and attention required. Mandy also demystifies unfamiliar ingredients and where to find them, shares her favorite tools, and provides instructions for essential condiments for the pantry and fridge, such as Ramen Seasoning, Fried Chili Verde Sauce, Caramelized Onion Powder Paste, and her Ultimate Sichuan Chile Oil.

Just Enough
Author: Gesshin Claire Greenwood
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1608685837
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Fresh out of college, Gesshin Claire Greenwood found her way to a Buddhist monastery in Japan and was ordained as a Buddhist nun. Zen appealed to Greenwood because of its all-encompassing approach to life and how to live it, its willingness to face life’s big questions, and its radically simple yet profound emphasis on presence, reality, the now. At the monastery, she also discovered an affinity for working in the kitchen, especially the practice of creating delicious, satisfying meals using whatever was at hand — even when what was at hand was bamboo. Based on the philosophy of oryoki, or “just enough,” this book combines stories with recipes. From perfect rice, potatoes, and broths to hearty stews, colorful stir-fries, hot and cold noodles, and delicate sorbet, Greenwood shows food to be a direct, daily way to understand Zen practice. With eloquent prose, she takes readers into monasteries and markets, messy kitchens and predawn meditation rooms, and offers food for thought that nourishes and delights body, mind, and spirit.
