Coffee table book - Gohan

Finest Coffee table book with the title "Gohan".

virtually every home-cooked Japanese meal revolves around rice. It sits next to miso soup, pickles, tofu and a piece of grilled fish for breakfast. It soaks up the sauce in a comforting donburi bowl, or it's wrapped in nori for the ultimate portable lunch – onigiri. And it's there for dinner, perhaps served with a pickled plum, some mild Japanese curry, braised fish or even a Japanese-style hamburger patty.

The everyday meals, prepared in the homes of Japanese mothers and grandmothers, are the food that Emiko grew up with. These are the dishes she cooks for her own children: simple, satisfying food like tamagonogohan (scrambled egg and rice), soba noodle soup, Japanese curry, yakisoba and miso soup, prepared with all the vegetables of the season
