Internationally acclaimed cook and author Hideo Dekura has put together a series of 4 books on different aspects of Japanese cooking, a skill which he has taught all over the world. Teppanyaki is the first in the Silk Series. It describes a method of cooking food on a hot plate, or wire mesh, similar to a barbecue, but in which the cook is able to showcase their culinary skill to a small gathering. The cook, rather than being relegated to a kitchen and out of view becomes central to the proceedings. Often small mouthfuls of flavourful food are presented to guests with an emphasis on flavour and culinary technique. More than 60 recipes are included in this book.
