Discover the heart of Japanese donabe cooking with simple yet delicious one-pot dishes from a renowned culinary expert. Donabe are the Japanese earthenware pots that have been used in Japan for centuries, and continue to be loved for their efficiency and beauty. In Simply Donabe, Naoko Takei Moore showcases how you can create Japanese one-pot dishes at home and guide you towards incorporating donabe into your daily life - donabe is not just cookware, but it's a way of life that brings joy and nourishment to everyday cooking. Recipes range from Sea Bream Shabu Shabu and Sweet and Sour Minced Pork Hotpot, to Egg Porridge and Miso-Simmered Ramen, as well as sides like Green Beans in Walnut Miso Cream and Quick-Pickled Napa Cabbage and sweet treats such as Sake-Kasu Pound Cake and Matcha Ice Cream. Full of inspiration, Simply Donabe shows that donabe cooking is more than just recipes.
