Morimoto – The New Art of Japanese Cooking Masaharu Morimoto

This book is a true reflection of the skillful master of Nouveau Japanese cooking – Morimoto aka Iron Chef! Morimoto’s in depth knowledge of traditional cuisine along with his gumption to challenge traditions and embrace other cuisines make his style of cooking absolutely irresistible to me. Unusual dishes like Chocolate Coated Sweetfish Liver, Squid Strawberry Ice Candy, Caviar Tempura, Lobster Masala and traditional Japanese favorites like Hayashi Stew and Sushi Omelet co exist in perfect harmony in Morimoto’s latest print creation. What I like the best about this book is that the flavors in every recipe are unmistably Japanese yet it is not something you would find in any traditional Japanese restaurant. The skilful use of unusual ingredients adds an element of surprise to the recipes yet do not take away from the essence of Japanese cuisine! I cannot complete this review without mentioning that the striking photography makes this book an absolute delight to read.
