Japanese Farm Food is the first work of Nancy Singleton Hachisu, serving as the culmination of 23 years of experience as a wife, cook, mother, and farmer in the rural Saitama prefecture of northern Japan. A native Californian married to an organic egg farmer with a shared reverence for food and cooking, Hachisu brings a unique bicultural sensibility to the logical and simple food of Japanese farm cooking. In 378 pages, she covers basic tenets of the cuisine, emphasizing the need to trust your instincts and to understand the heart of the food as a guide to creating meals for all occasions. All 160 recipes are deliberately written in metric measurements and use the concept of ratios to make them easily changeable and scalable, covering dishes on the spectrum from simple to complex. Overall, Hachisu’s recipes and explanations invoke pleasure and invite you to step into her kitchen and home to feel, smell, and taste with her. Join Stir, 102 Waltham Street in Boston, on Tuesday, September 15 at 7 as we follow the insight, advice, and instruction lacing the pages of Hachisu’s book for an evening of Japanese farm food!
