RICE MISO SOUP PICKLES: THE JAPANESE SECRET/ HAPPY LIFE (HB)

Not a cookbook, but a unique insight into Japanese cuisine and culture by one of its most revered chefs, Rice, Miso Soup, Pickles has sold almost half a million copies in Japan and is now for the first time translated into English. Yoshiharu Doi invites readers to try a traditional Japanese diet to make life and cooking easier - creating a routine, a modest way of eating that is in sympathy with the body, that nurtures and soothes the mind and which makes home a place of reassurance and comfort.
