Washoku: Japanese Recipes (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A collection of traditional Japanese recipes, from vegetable to seafood to pork, beef and chicken. Traditional Japanese food is collectively known as washoku. Washoku is written in Japanese characters as 和食. The first character, 和 (wa), means both "Japan" and "harmony", and the second character 食 (shoku) means food. In 2013, in recognition of customs passed down in Japan for thousands of years, washoku was designated a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. As the name implies, washoku blends ingredients in a harmonious fashion. Washoku has several main characteristics. SEASONALITY: Japan has four distinct seasons, and the dishes served in washoku reflect that, using ingredients and produce suitable to the season. INGREDIENTS: At the heart of a washoku meal is rice, the country's most important staple, accompanied by fish, seafood, and seaweed. Japan is an island nation and seafood is central to the traditional Japanese diet. BALANCE: Traditional Japanese cuisine focuses on balance, with preparation techniques that aim to draw out the natural flavors of ingredients rather than masking them in heavy sauces. AESTHETICS: Washoku is not only about the food's ingredients and taste, it's also about the visual beauty of the meal, the colours and arrangement of the ingredients, and the tableware and serving style.

Autorenporträt

Author of his own misfortunes, Darvin Babiuk writes history, novels, short stories, translations, articles, shopping lists, and has more than once been considered a write-off. He hopes to be around to write his own obituary. Friends and relatives say he has never been the same after the tragic incident at the Moose Factory 47th annual Dmitro Petrycyshyn Pickerel and Perogies Cribbage tournament. His turn-ons include women with mustaches, Men Without Hats (The musical group, silly!), honey Dijon mustard and leopard frogs. If he were a vegetable, he'd be a beet, pithy but misunderstood. He wishes he could write like Scarlett Johansson's voice sounds. He has lived and worked in a number of overseas locations in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
