After reading this book, we really feel that we discover Laure Kié family everyday Japanese cuisine with simple explanations and tips as well as equivalences of products where no one would find all the ingredients necessary to achieve dishes. It also gives us a list of basic specific products and some practical utensils. You can buy everything needed on shopping sites online Japanese products (do not hesitate to compare) and you can immediately buy rice per 5 kg because it is the basis of every meal! And I come to invest in a small rice cooker -like all Japanese families writes itself. So I recommend this book to discover the family Japanese cuisine and continue to practice!
