Meg Tanaka: Osozai Everyday Japanese home cooking

Bringing balance, colour and flavour to the family table, osozai are everyday dishes in Japanese home cooking. Bright salads, quick pickles, simmered vegetables and satisfying mains - simple, home-style dishes designed to fit everyday life and be enjoyed together. Featuring 80 accessible recipes made for sharing, this cookbook showcases the food Meg grew up eating - pumpkin nimono, hakusai pickles - and the food she now cooks at home for friends and family - kara-age, miso butter corn, smashed cucumber and edamame salad. Whether you're new to miso, dashi and mirin or looking to build a regular spread, you'll find dishes to cook on repeat and make your own. This is modern Japanese cooking at its best: thoughtful, nourishing and full of joy. 'This book is so much more than the dishes. It's about community' NANCY SINGLETON HACHISU, AUTHOR OF JAPAN: THE COOKBOOK 'A balanced collection of tasty recipes that could work in any home, all of which I will happily add to my own family repertoire' ANDREW McCONNELL, CHEF AND RESTAURATEUR 'Transform not only a meal, but the way we gather, nourish and connect' HELEN GOH, AUTHOR OF BAKING AND THE MEANING OF LIFE
