I never knew food could be so spiritual! According to "tea kaiseki," every dish (color, material, weight, etc) and the food in them are based on nature. A very different look at an Japanese food. No california rolls or beef teriyaki here! Recipes are included, too.

I loved this book - I think I was in Japan at the same time she was (mid '80s) and it brought back so many memories. I thought I knew a lot about Japanese cuisine, but I found myself post-it marking several pages; it's a joyful and informative book. (I think it is mis-titled though, the subtitle is better, just an opinion)
