Why It Made The List

With such a rich and diverse culinary history, capturing Japanese cooking in a single book is no easy task. For Western cooks, its wide ranging form is esoteric and challenging, so American-born author Nancy Singleton Hachisu serves as a useful bridge. Across 400 recipes and 122 illustrations, she explores the importance of fresh, premium ingredients and the techniques required to create the most incredible dishes. From sushi to ramen, tempura to yakitori, this is the authority on the world's most alluring cuisine.
