'Tokyo Stories' by Tim Anderson
Tokyo Stories is a journey through the boulevards and backstreets of Tokyo via recipes both iconic and unexpected. Chef Tim Anderson takes inspiration from the chefs, shopkeepers, and home cooks of Tokyo to showcase both traditional and cutting-edge takes on classic dishes like sushi, ramen, yakitori, and tempura. Many people are intimidated at the idea of cooking Japanese food at home, but Tim Anderson reveals that many Japanese recipes require no specialist ingredients at all.
