Collaboration - Nancy Singleton Hachisu
We are proud and excited to partner with our friend Nancy Singleton Hachisu on the ingredient box for Japan: The Vegetarian Cookbook. To help you make recipes from her cookbook, Nancy has hand-selected some of our artisanal pantry items that she uses in her farmhouse kitchen in Japan.
The depth and breadth of the recipes in this book show Nancy's expansive knowledge of Japanese food. We love how the recipes are divided into sections by cooking style - dressed, vinegared, deep-fried, simmered, steamed, stir-fried, grilled, pickled, and sweet. And her illuminating stories about the ingredients and cooking styles make you want to learn more and more. All in all, Nancy's deep devotion to and respect for Japan and its cuisine are evident.
