Publisher Review

House and Garden, November issue: "If you enjoy Japanese food, but have been put of trying to cook it by its apparent complexity, read Tokyo Cult Recipes. Tokyo-born and raise Maori Murota shows that everyday Japanese cooking isn't complicated once you have learnt a few basic techniques and bought the right ingredients. Chapters are organised by meal type, including breakfast, bento, oyatsu (snacks - most of which are sweet), izakaya (tapas bar) and ohiru (lunch)."
