Japanese Women Dont Get Old or Fat

Opis książki:

Its well known that Japanese women have the lowest obesity rate in the industrialized world (3%) and the highest life expectancy (85 years), and that their cuisine is based on simplicity. Tokyo native Moriyama puts a human face on this phenomenon, that of her mother, Chizuko, in this well-organized, persuasive introduction to a non-Western everyday cooking plan. Just as Moriyama reconstructed Chizukos cooking practices for herself and her coauthor husband, Doyle (Inside the Oval Office), she shows readers the elements of Chizukos 6×12 Tokyo kitchen. She details its pantry ingredients, including bonito (fish) flakes and daikon (radish) and tools such as a rice cooker and wok. Most recipes are based on at least one of the "seven pillars"—fish, vegetables, rice, soy, noodles, tea, fruit—and are familiar and easy to make (Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura, Teriyaki Fish, etc.). Cooking tips abound, but what adds a French Women Dont Get Fat angle is the useful eating advice, such as "Hara hachi bunme," or "Eat until you are 80 percent full." Its a call for moderation that occurs throughout other cultures, and if its the Japanese version that speaks to readers, good for Moriyama.
