Katie says that I'm becoming a small Japanese woman, and it's all thanks to this book.

I don't really use this book to cook during the winter or high summer, but it is great for recipes in the spring and fall. many of the recipes involve a lot of high heat but also a lot of fresh vegetables. It's an excellent and concise cookbook with a lot of explanation and good illustrations.
