    I found this book to be very insightful into the art and aspect of Japanese style cooking. I found the layout to be incredibly easy to use and the instructions easy to follow and keep up with. I look forward to getting to cook these recipes in the near future

    I own a lot of cookbooks, but I am not especially familiar with Japanese cuisine. *Japanese Cooking Made Simple* is, in fact, my first Japanese cookbook. It follows a fairly standard format: A section of introductory material that discusses the ingredients, tools, techniques, and philosophy pecuiliar to Japanese cooking, followed by categorized recipes. The introductory section is useful and informative. I particularly appreciated the classification of tools as "must-have," "nice-to-have," and "highly recommended." But the essence of a cookbook is its recipes. The variety and descriptions of the recipes included in this book are pleasing, and I felt that they offered a good assortment of different styles, flavors, and techniques to try. The biggest flaw in the design of the book is the relative dearth of pictures of the prepared recipes. Those that are included are attractive, but there simply aren't enough of them. I would have preferred to see a picture accompany each recipe. For purposes of this review, I picked out four recipes to make: Miso-Egg Soup With Peas, Cucumber Roll, Broccoli With Sesame Dressing, and Castella Sponge Cake. The soup and cucumber roll came out quite nice (and it was only my second attempt at making sushi), and the cake was satisfyingly light, airy, and pleasantly mild. The broccoli, while decent, was not particularly exciting. Still, though, that's a pretty good success rate. I intend to keep trying other recipes from this collection!

    ePub edition. This cookbook does deliver as promised. The recipes are simple for us Western cooks, using mostly easy to obtain locally ingredients. The first thing I did was place an online order to fill in some gaps I had. I do have a Japanese supermarket 20 miles away, but that's not what I'd consider convenient. I particularly liked the listing of equipment, necessary, not necessary and nice to have. I've always been interested in dishes such as hot pot, and the proper recipe for dashi, and this book filled those blanks. The family will be seeing some new dishes with the help of this cookbook. Thanks for a cookbook someone can sit down and read.

    I really enjoyed the recipes in this cookbook. They were simple and tasty. I have been looking at Japanese recipes and sometimes found them to be too difficult, but not these recipes. I found them easy to cook and it was easy getting the seasons I needed to make them. This is a book that you should check out for some tasty Japanese food.

    Lots of easy recipes to start with. As you progress in skill, there are more complicated recipes to try. A couple of them have become regulars in my dinner rotation. The most difficult thing about the book was finding some of the more exotic ingredients in stores near me. Highly recommended.

    I was excited to have a guide to a new type of food that I was interested in but had NO experience in attempting to prepare myself. This is a great introductory cook book for Japanese cooking that increases complexity while your skills should be increasing. Good format for learning a new cuisine.

    This great little book lives up to its name. I tend to love cookbooks, but particularly ones that use real ingredients (and ones that are readily available) to make wholesome, yummy food. The recipes are simple, clear, and have made my mouth water as I've browsed the book. I will admit that in the past two days I have not had the opportunity to try any of the recipes, but I anticipate trying and enjoying many of them. I appreciate that this cookbook has a great overview in each chapter of the important aspects of cooking each type of Japanese food, as well as great resources at the beginning identifying ingredients and seasonings, as well as appropriate substitutions. It also has an appendix with ideas of where to find ingredients if they are not readily found at a local grocery store or international food market.The only down sides to this book (that made me take off half a star) are these:- Not many pictures of the dishes (I am not one who looks for step by step pictures; in fact, when browsing recipes online, I routinely skip to the actual recipe because I don't see the point of showing each ingredient as it goes into the dish, but I do love to see a picture of the final product)- Having the Kindle edition, while I like the way it is organized and the links to each recipe, I would love a full index. This may not be the case for the print edition.I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review as part of the Library Thing Early Reviewers program.
