I really like this cookbook. It seems as though it is difficult, if not impossible, to buy it now ... that is unless you are willing to fork over $700 plus. I am not gonna do that. Anyway, thanks to our wonderful library i was able to get my hands on a copy. (They used an inter library loan system.) It was worth the effort. Sachie’s recipes are straight forward and laid out in an easy to understand format. Where necessary, there are several illustrations, in one case two full pages of illustrations. And therein lies the real value of this cookbook — it is written with the reader, the person who will be doing the cooking, in mind.
Another aspect of the cookbook that i really like is the fact Sachie did not go to culinary school, rather she learned to make Japanese dishes from her mother and aunt. Her aunt, in particular was a very exacting teacher. Then Sachie refined her cooking skills by giving cooking lessons in New Zealand, her adopted home. I suspect that her teaching experience is a main reason her recipes are so well laid out in her book. She has seen the pitfalls that may trip up those new to Japanese cooking.
My interest in Japanese dishes dates back to 1968 when i was stationed in Fukuoka, a well known restaurant city. Then later in the early 1980s I was stationed on Okinawa. I copied several recipes from Sachie’s cookbook and that should allow me to recreate some of the wonderful dishes i had in Japan.
I really hope Harper Collins will reprint this cookbook. I would love to own a copy at a reasonable price.

Yesterday in Kuwait International Book Fair, I bought two books, and both of them happened to be cookbooks! I really need to return so I can discover more books.
Sachie's Kitchen attracted me because it's about the Japanese Cuisine and it's mysterious to me, I love sushi, sashimi, rice, miso and ramen; eating them in restaurants is so different to cooking them at home. I really want to make a Japanese night for my friends!
What I didn't expect is that Sachie Nomura not only introduced us to her country's cuisine but also shared her memories, it's a food/travel journal of sort and it's lovely! Though I never heard of her before, she is becoming one of my favorite chefs through her cookbook, so I can't wait to try a recipe so I can seal my opinion.
