Healthy Japanese Cooking: Simple Recipes for a Long Life, the Shoku-Iku Way

by Makiko Sano, Lisa Linder (Photographer)

Shoku-Iku is the way that Japanese people are taught about healthy food. This book reveals the secrets to how the Japanese stay so healthy in easy-to-follow principles so you, too, can learn to eat mindfully, the Shoku-Iku way. Each of the five recipe chapters centers on one cooking method: steaming (or microwaving); grilling; simmering; no-cook; and sushi. The seventy brand-new simple recipes are largely gluten and dairy free; and the clear and graphic illustrated spreads show you how to choose which vegetables, fish or grains to eat in order to optimize your health and help with specific ailments.

Not the easily accessible cooking suggested by the tone and introduction. The recipes aren't difficult, but many call for very specific ingredients that I cannot justify buying without cooking from this very cookbook regularly. Stars for the recipes that are accessible and range of foods covered, and the beautifully visual style with easy to follow instructions.

La verdad es que me ha encantado. He probado un par de recetas y me han gustado. Lo que más me gusta es que no es el típico libro de recetas que no va más allá del sushi y ramen, sino que son recetas del día a día y bastante sanas. Aparte, me parece muy interesante la filosofía en la que se fundan las recetas.
