JAPANESE VEGERTARIAN COOKERY

FINE AS NEW CLEAN AND TIGHT - SOFT COVER. SHIPS FROM WA- USPS. EXPEDITED SHIPPING AVAILABLE. Pantheon Books. Four years' residence in rural Japan gave Downer a good knowledge of that basically vegetarian cuisine. She offers three major sections of recipes: vegetables, with chapters for broccoli, chestnuts, etc.; eggs and beans, especially soybeans; and grains. She includes recipes from all parts of Japan, and from temple to farmhouse, and relates a much folklore. Given the breadth of her topic, she's done a good basic job. Most of the preparations are not intricate, expensive, or time-consuming. Some compel a new look at a familiar vegetable. Cookery, Japanese; Cooking; Japan; Non-Fiction; Vegetarian; Vegetarian cookery
