Kansha: Celebrating Japan's Vegan and Vegetarian Traditions
Post date: 03-Apr-2011 00:54:19
This book by Elizabeth Ando covers Japanese vegan and vegetarian traditions, and I thoroughly recommend to all vegans in the West any book that covers this style of cooking...
There's a lot that we can learn from Classical Japanese Buddhist cooking styles... and the new emerging modern vegan traditions...
KANSHA is Japanese for 'appreciation'. So she created a local food-tasting society and named it 'Kansha Club'.
One of the recipes is Glazed Eel Look-a-like... I spotted this in a Shoujin Ryori cookbook.. I can't wait to get this book...
The accompanying website is at:
A previous book also and online culinary workshop - although this book is not 100% vegan or vegetarian:

WASHOKU means literally 'Japanese food' or you can interpret the WA = 'harmony' as on the website.. it's ambiguous ..
