Your Home Izakaya is the latest book by Tim Anderson, who probably needs no introduction. Written in 2020 (when you could only dream of travelling), beautifully published book will easily take you on an adventure in Japan, even if just for a moment.
Over 80 recipes are divided into several categories: Light and fresh (here you will find salads or sashimi), Bold and Burly (more filling dishes, mostly fried until crispy), DIY Dining (single-pot dishes and larger meals), Shime (rice and pasta in several ways), sweets and drinks. After classics such as karaage chicken, yakitori skewers or edamame beans, we recommend youto try more unusual flavors. eggplant with miso in a pizza-flavored version, fries with toppings usually associatef with okonomiyaki or rice casserole with cheese… And of course, a brilliant combination of two great flavors: Japanese-style potato salad and ramen eggs.
The recipes are accompanied by Anderson’s various stories, interesting information about Japanese gastronomy, and even a humorous guide to creating a real eatery at home. It is not the most conventional book, but the selected recipes are wonderful – we recommend it if you want a slightly more unique approach to Japanese cuisine!
