Summary

"Our life centers on the farm and the field. We eat what we grow." Nancy Singleton Hachisu, author Japanese Farm Foodoffers readers a unique window into life on a Japanese farm through the simple, clear-flavored recipes cooked from family fields and other local, organic products. The multitude of vibrant images of green fields, a traditional farmhouse, antique baskets, and ceramic bowls filled with beautiful, simple dishes by Kenji Miura are interwoven with Japanese indigo fabrics to convey an intimate, authentic portrait of life and food on a Japanese farm. With a focus on fresh and thoughtfully sourced ingredients, the recipes in Japanese Farm Foodare perfect for fans of the farmer's market, and for home cooks looking for accessible Japanese dishes. American born and raised, Nancy Singleton Hachisu lives with her husband and teenage sons on a rural Japanese farm, where they prepare these 135 bright, seasonal dishes. The recipes are organized logically with the intention of reassuring readers how easy it is to cook Japanese food. Not just a book about Japanese food, Japanese Farm Foodis a book about love, life on the farm, and community. Covering everything from pickles and soups to noodles, rice, and dipping sauces, with a special emphasis on vegetables, Hachisu demystifies the rural Japanese kitchen, laying bare the essential ingredients, equipment, and techniques needed for Japanese home cooking.

Author Biography

Nancy Singleton Hachisu moved from California to Japan in 1988, with the intention to stay for a year, learn Japanese, and return to the United States. Instead, she fell in love with a farmer, the culture, and the food, and has made the country her home. Nancy has taught cooking classes for nearly 20 years, and also runs a children's English immersion program that prepares home-cooked meals with local ingredients. She has been a Slow Food convivium leader for more than a decade, and a food-education leader for Slow Food Japan for the last several years. Nancy, her husband, and three sons live in an 80-year-old traditional farmhouse on an organic farm in rural Japan.
