Japanese Cooking Hawai'i Style Spiral-bound – January 1, 2006

I'm glad I got this book. It brings back memories of when I used to go over my friends house for the holidays. His parents would serve up these delicious and yet simple meals. Got this book yesterday and made four of the dishes already. The ingredients in this book is easy to find in most Asian markets. The recipes are simple and they taste like I remembered. Thank you Muriel.

I love to eat Japanese dishes. Beautiful pictures of the final products.

Great recipes of Japanese Cooking as they do it back Home.... this is a GREAT cook book and I bought it on a recombination by a friend!

One of them called Cook Japanese which was aired on Hawaii Public Television in the early '70s.She's also an author of numerous cookbooks. In 1974, as a way to help pay for her daughter's private school tuition, she wrote Cook Japanese: Hawaiian Style which she self-published. This cookbook has become a classic and is now out of print.
