Japanese desserts have a powerful place in world culture, from emojis to anime, and it’s likely that you’ve enjoyed your fair share of beautiful photos of them online.But I've never managed to be 'a cook'. Even my 'healthy' efforts tend to be nothing fancy - everything dumped into a roasting pan or a slow cooker... Since I was bereaved several years ago, I've been living alone and 'making do' at cooking. At first this meant that almost everything consisted of tinned stuff or microwave ready meals, until one day I decided that this was a deeply unhealthy diet. It’s a great book for beginner Japanese chefs, who’d love to replicate their favourites but feel a little intimidated.

As well as having recipes for all of your favorites, this book also has a number of fresh twists on classic choices, meaning that you’ll never get bored of sushi again!
