Japanese Home Cooking

By Maori Murota
Maori Murota is a Japanese-born cook and writer who learned to cook by observing her mother and grandmother, grounding her work in everyday family meals rather than restaurant-style cuisine.

This book offers a practical introduction to authentic Japanese home cooking, guiding readers through foundational techniques alongside approachable, modern dishes. With step-by-step recipes for staples such as ramen broth, sushi rice, homemade tofu, and onigiri, it also branches into contemporary, fusion-inspired meals that reflect how Japanese families cook today. Many recipes are naturally plant-based, making this a versatile and accessible collection for everyday cooking.
