JAPANESE WOMEN DON'T GET OLD OR FAT Naomi Moriyama & William Doyle
Japan has the lowest obesity and highest longevity rates in the world. Why? A good part of the answer, says Naomi Moriyama, lies inside a Tokyo kitchen, in the magic of Japanese cooking, and in the kind of food prepared by her mother and millions of other Japanese mothers. Not about dieting or making sushi, this book draws you effortlessly into the atmosphere of Japanese cooking. Naomi tells you what her mother’s kitchen was like, what Japanese food markets are like, what the Samurai eat, and all kinds of other fascinating, foodie tales. In between, she shares lots of fantastic recipes for real Japanese-style home-cooked meals. Best of all, you absorb from this book the Japanese approach to food. Simple meals are prepared with love and care, portions are modest, and time is taken to admire and appreciate them. After reading just a few pages, I was already on my way, and we’ve been eating Japanese-style most evenings ever since. Delicious!
