Homemade Udon Noodles by Harumi Kurihara
Asian Recipes By Amy @ cookbookmaniac

Regret. There is a popular saying that goes, "Live your life with no regrets." This saying does not ring true to me. I am not a perfect person. I have made mistakes that I wish I could undo. For example: * I started to learn how to drive in high school over 10 years ago, but I never went for my P's. I am now a sardine in the can that we call Cityrail.

Cookbook Reviews By Amy @ cookbookmaniac

There is something about the Japanese cuisine that captures my heart and taste buds. It seems that every time we visit a Japanese restaurant or cafe, I am inspired to recreate or research whatever it is that i have experienced. It is more than just a plate of food. It is the current seasons best offerings, prepared with utter reverence to its natural taste and texture.

The Japanese Kitchen is a good starting place for people who have just opened the door to the Japanese cuisine. It goes into the history and uses of essential ingredients…
