Greetings, we would like to welcome you to Excel Cooking.

Now this might not be what you expect like most cookbooks out there because (naturally) there is no way we can cover every dish under the sun.

Our approach is not to overwhelm you with choices, but rather give you the finest options available to choose from to get your feet wet. Don't be surprised if they're not the most common food items that you think of since we're going for a more authentic route.

These recipes were specifically chosen for a reason to give you real hands-on experience.

Each cuisine requires different cooking techniques and method, and the goal is for you to build that foundation to the point where you can customize and tweak the selections however you like for more intricate fancy dishes.

More importantly, rather than simply know how to cook, it's about understanding the cultural practice and the handling of the food itself to really excel in this particular area of cooking.

We recommend that you at least attempt all the dishes (if you can).

Enjoy your meal!

Reviews for Excel Japanese Cooking

[Chris French · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I’ve enjoyed this Japanese cookbook. There are tons of helpful tricks and I could learn a lot about Japanese cooking. I’ve made two recipes out of the book and everything came out tasting very good. The author knows what they are doing when it comes to putting together Japanese cuisine. Each recipe was described in detail so you have an idea of what you are aiming to make, and the author does a good job in explaining what certain ingredients are and the best substitutions if the ingredient is not easily accessible. The cooking instructions are simple so they are not too hard to recreate. If you live near an Asian Supermarket, you will not have any trouble finding the ingredients in this book.

The book goes over basic tips which are helpful even to seasoned cooks who aren’t too familiar with Japanese cooking techniques. My suggestion would be to write a list of the specialty ingredients used out the book so that you can stock your pantry ahead of time. Overall, this is an informative and practical cookbook for anyone who wants to eat authentic Japanese food at home and choosing this book is a good choice. If you really want to eat and learn Japanese food, you wouldn’t need to look at others until you master this one. I look forward to making more recipes out of this book.
