<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Everyone loves Japanese cuisine--sushi is one of the most popular international foods, and ramen shops are super trendy.

The cookbook is filled with simplified, healthy versions of popular Japanese dishes... --NATIONAL EXAMINER <p/>I sent our Photographer Joseph De Leo home with Rika's Modern Japanese one weekend to try out a few dishes. Monday, he told me that he cooked not two or three, but seven dishes in the two and a half days since we had spoken. Each one, he said, was a hit--from the simple and perfectly-seasoned Broccoli with Gomae Dressing to the Pan Roasted Peppers with Seaweed. I wasn't surprised to hear it. While Rika Yukimasa, the chef and TV personality behind the book, might be lesser known in America (this is her first book to be published stateside), she's published over fifty cookbooks in Japan, China, and Korea.Yukimasa is known for her concise instructions covering a wide range of Japanese dishes and techniques. Joey had found that many of the dishes were such a cinch to prepare that he might as well double up on his homework. --EPICURIOUS.COM <p/>Yukimasa makes Japanese home-cooking accessible in dishes that don't take dozens of ingredients to prepare. In fact, she is not above taking shortcuts such as using instant dashi. Get ready to salivate over dishes such as 'Sashimi with Ponzu Sauce, ' 'Braised Fish in Miso Sauce, ' and 'Yoshiko's Meatloaf Hamburgers.' --FOOD GAL<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rika Yukimasa</b> hosts <i>Dining with the Chef</i>, a popular NHK cooking program that airs in 150 countries, including the U.S., where it's shown on PBS.
