Description

*2020 IACP Cookbook Award Finalist for Health & Nutrition* *2020 Gourmand Cookbook Award Winner for Japan in Fermentation* Japanese pickles are often made the day they are eaten - as delicious side dishes, snacks and garnishes. Whether you have your own vegetable garden and want new ways to preserve your bounty into the winter, or are just looking for healthy and tasty additions to your everyday meals, these home-made Japanese superfood recipes are a great addition to your repertoire. A chapter on regional pickling styles and recipes lets home cooks learn more about the traditional art of tsukemono in Japan - from Tokyo to rural farm villages - while a section on pickling seasonal vegetables helps you make the most of your garden-fresh produce. 'Pickled vegetables were my favourite component of most meals we ate in Tokyo. Japanese Pickled Vegetables by Machiko Tateno has a clean layout and glossy photos that sing 'You can do this.' I longed for the bright zinging taste of vivid carrot chunks, startling daikon slices, sweet-and-sour green cucumber ribbons, but muttered 'too many hard-to-get ingredients - kombu seaweed?' Later, while staring down another bowl of pandemic ramen, I took the plunge. Raiding the pantry and fridge, I was able to make fresh cucumber pickles, quick carrot, radish, napa cabbage pickles and kimchi.' - Shelf Awareness '...Tateno keeps this guide basic and simple...Current interest in fermenting and pickling make this a perfect addition to any cookery collection.' - Booklist 'Japanese Pickled Vegetables is a well-written cookbook that's appropriate for both beginner and advanced cooks who'd like to have a collection of Japanese-style pickled produce. It's a wonderful resource especially for those who have their own vegetable garden during the warmer seasons and want to preserve their bounty for the winter.' Today's Dietitian
