Vegetarian Table: Japan

The gifted author-photographer duo who created The Vegetarian Table: Mexico are back with their rendition of Japanese vegetarian cuisine. The Land of the Rising Sun has a long-standing tradition of wholesome vegetarian eating, and the recipes presented here are extremely healthful -- many include soy, and many are entirely nonfat. The dishes sing with flavorful ginger, green onion, sesame, wasabi mustard, rice vinegar, roasted nori, and other savory ingredients. Written in a clear and simple style and illustrated with elegant photography, The Vegetarian Table: Japan makes this venerable and delicious cuisine manageable for even a novice.
