Read Know the Day. The soul of cooking "

Now I can't remember when the word "cooking" was first known, but I probably know that it came from Japan. I didn't learn it specifically, but I took the word "cooking" as Polish. This time I bought Zhitian and saw Zhitian, the soul of cooking. Because I love eating, I am not a glutton, but I can still eat food. When I saw this book, I bought it without hesitation.

? The soul of cuisine begins with the history of Japanese cuisine. Japanese cuisine has a history of more than 2000 years, from Japan's rope era to Meiji era, with a total of 12 times. For two thousand years, the main dishes are: eight-inch, sashimi, imperial bowl, barbecue, fried vegetables, shredded vinegar, steamed vegetables, rice, fresh soup, pickles and so on. After reading these, I was shocked. Because for so many years, I only know that sashimi and sushi are Japanese dishes, and I don't know that there are barbecues, fried foods and so on in Japan. I always thought these were only available in China.

This book tells the basic concepts of Japanese cuisine, ingredients in 24 solar terms, daily cooking, Japanese family cooking, Japanese sushi and cooking stories. It is rich in content and worth seeing. In this book, I prefer twenty solar terms cuisine, Japanese family cuisine and sushi.

? Seeing the composition of the 24 solar terms in the book, the first thing that comes to mind is the story of teacher Kobayashi's successful bid for the 24 solar terms. Not only that, but every solar term, Mr. Kobayashi also matches the poems in The Book of Songs and his paintings in his works. Illustrated and mouth-watering, I don't even go to see it at night. I'm hungry. The composition of the 24 solar terms in this book is far from what Mr. Kobayashi said, but it is still practical mainly in terms of health preservation, but it is much simpler than the traditional culture in China. It's April, and Tomb-Sweeping Day and Grain Rain are two solar terms. The book says that Grain Rain is eating bamboo shoots. No wonder he always eats bamboo shoots recently. Seeing this, I finally know why there are so many bamboo shoots. It seems that bamboo shoots are just seasonal vegetables. In Japan, it is also the season to drink "sweet tea". Sweet tea is similar to Ajisai's sweet tea. After the buds are dried, they can be fried. When offering sacrifices to Buddha's birthday, temples will invite believers to drink sweet tea, which seems to be absent in China. I wonder if it's called differently.

? Japanese cuisine is world-famous. Not only many kinds, but also fine. If you want to eat authentic Japanese food, I think it should be Japanese family cooking. This book details the cooking of four Japanese families seven days a week. All kinds of dishes placed on a table always make people feel exquisite and rich, complex and full of daily warmth. To tell the truth, after watching the cooking at home for a Thursday, I only have one feeling, that is, I don't have enough to eat. Looking at the pictures in the book, it is exquisite and rich in content, but for me, a Sichuanese who likes spicy food, this feeling is too weak. Although it is suitable for health preservation, I don't think it is suitable for me. Writing here, I can't help thinking that in 20 14, I went to Taiwan Province province, and I ate Taiwan Province cuisine. I don't know if I didn't eat authentic Taiwan Province cuisine because I joined the League. The food during the whole tour was not very good. I didn't eat for the last two days, which was too hard to swallow. After returning home, I didn't want to eat for three months I was afraid that I had anorexia. Three months later.

? Finally, I prefer Japanese food. I once ate a lot of sushi in a Japanese restaurant in Chengdu. I have never been to Japan. I don't know what authentic sushi tastes like, but after reading this book, I prefer its taste in cooking. "? Grapefruit and pepper. Grapefruit is not the grapefruit we usually eat, and pepper is not the pepper we usually use when cooking. Japanese grapefruit, also called "Xiang orange" or "Luohan orange", looks like orange and has a strong sour taste. Generally, it is not used as fruit, but as seasoning. "Pepper" refers to the green pepper in pepper. Pomelo pepper is a Japanese grapefruit-flavored pepper seasoning. The raw materials are simple: pepper, Japanese grapefruit peel and salt. Production method: Chop pepper and Japanese grapefruit peel, mix salt, and grind by hand. Pomelo pepper is used as seasoning for pot cooking, miso soup and sashimi. Yes, mainly Sichuanese are used to spicy food, so they prefer Japanese "grapefruit pepper" and Indian curry. I prefer spicy food anyway.

After reading this book, I have a general feeling. Although I think the pictures are exquisite, I still have little interest in Japanese food. I still like the traditional food in China, which is more varied and more suitable for my own taste. But it's good to know Japanese food.
