Description



About the Book



A discussion of Japanese cooking for the American home from Orkin, Chef's Table sensation and "ramen genius" (Food & Wine).



Book Synopsis



The New York Times "Best Cookbooks of Fall 2019"
Bon Appetit's "Fall Cookbooks We've Been Waiting All Summer For"
Epicurious' "Fall 2019 Cookbooks We Can't Wait to Cook From"
Amazon's Picks for "Best Fall Cookbooks 2019"

Ivan Orkin is a self-described gaijin (guy-jin), a Japanese term that means "outsider." He has been hopelessly in love with the food of Japan since he was a teenager on Long Island. Even after living in Tokyo for decades and running two ramen shops that earned him international renown, he remained a gaijin.

Fortunately, being a lifelong outsider has made Orkin a more curious, open, and studious chef. In The Gaijin Cookbook, he condenses his experiences into approachable recipes for every occasion, including weeknights with picky kids, boozy weekends, and celebrations. Everyday dishes like Pork and Miso-Ginger Stew, Stir-Fried Udon, and Japanese Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce are what keep the Orkin family connected to Japan. For more festive dinners, he suggests a Temaki Party, where guests assemble their own sushi from cooked and fresh fillings. And recipes for Bagels with Shiso Gravlax and Tofu Coney Island (fried tofu with mushroom chili) reveal the eclectic spirit of Ivan's cooking.

Amazing and makes me hungry

In love with this book, the recipes are great, but the narrative is also educational and entertaining. It's much more than just a cookbook.
