Murdoch Books Japanese Food Made Easy

A great little cookbook for tose of us who love the flavours of Japanese food but find cooking it a bit intimidating. You’ll need to invest in some key ingredients but I’ve already cooked a lot from it including a tuna dish, a crunchy cucumber salad, a mackerel pilaf (several times!), a rich mushroom casserole and chicken yakitori skewers. I’ve also mastered sushi rice. Yay!

The most beautiful book with easy to follow recpies. Demystifies Japanese food and all of the flavours. So far Lotus Root Crisps, Miso Eggplant & Kitsune Udon have been my favourites. This is my go to Japanese cookbook and will be cooking from it for a very long time.

Such a lovely book with simple, easy to follow recipes. We’ve already cooked from the book 4 times and we’ve only had it 2 weeks! The recipes are lovely and incredibly approachable and the book itself is beautiful - every photo is gorgeous. I bought a copy for my sister too and she loves it too - highly recommended.

I’ve made several recipes from the book in the short time I’ve had it and every one has been simple, easy to follow... not to mention delicious, with beautiful food photography to inspire anyone who wants a true taste of Japanese food; from beginner to even the most experienced cook!

I bought this as a birthday present for my 18-year old daughter who loves Japanese food, and she really liked it. There is lots of information about specialist ingredients, and a wide range of interesting recipes. We made the Chicken Kara Age with Tonkatsu Sauce, as well as a green bean salad, and all recipes were easy to follow and delicious. The book is beautifully illustrated, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning to cook Japanese food.
