Izakaya

Sociable Enjoyment

Tim Anderson takes us into the world of izakayas in his new book, which can be loosely translated as typical Japanese pubs. Originally, these were simple sake shops where one could not only drink but also quickly grab a bite to eat – they can be compared to Spanish tapas bars. Authentic dishes bursting with flavor are served to be enjoyed in a social setting. The book features over 100 recipes, all irresistibly interpreted in a typical Tim Anderson style that blends Japanese and European influences. From radish and watercress salad to spicy sesame ramen salad and udon carbonara with bacon tempura, the recipes are not only visually appealing but also super easy to prepare. No special cooking equipment or complicated ingredients are required. Imaginative desserts and cocktails are, of course, included – nothing stands in the way of a Japanese home party! This is the perfect book for anyone who wants to cook Japanese food for themselves, family, and friends with minimal effort and maximum fun. Features approximately 150 color photos.
