Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Yokoyama, a cooking instructor specializing in Nagano regional cuisine, makes her English-language debut with an enlightening guide to making Japanese-style pickles at home. She begins by listing the necessary equipment--ceramic containers, for example, are great for pickling because they are nonreactive (meaning they won't erode from the pickles' salt and acid). Complete with accompanying photographs, the step-by-step instructions are a breeze to follow, especially when laying out more involved processes like creating a rice bran pickling bed--which should be stirred twice a day to ensure freshness. Recipes vary from quick pickles that "can be made in as little as 30 minutes"--such as eggplant pickled in salt and red onion pickled in sweet vinegar--to specialties that take weeks to make and sometimes a month to "mature," such as takuanzuke (pickled daikon radish). In addition to offering plenty of appetizing serving suggestions (salt-pickled water celery can be used "to add fragrance and savor" to unseasoned soups or porridges), Yokoyama also includes a handful of recipes that use pickled veggies, such as an umami-filled pan-fried garlic pork--which gets a tangy kick from garlic preserved in soy sauce. Readers ready to take the plunge into Japanese preserves need look no further. (Mar.)
