Breakaway Japanese Kitchen

For 15 years Eric Gower has been experimentally combining the unique ingredients of his adopted country, Japan, with the easy-going, flexible approach of his native Californian cuisine. Born from his creative inventiveness, The Breakaway Japanese Kitchen features a mouth-watering selection of the best of his creations and reveals one man's passion for good, home-cooked food. Nearly all of Gower's innovative recipes are simple to prepare and take only 10 to 20 minutes to make. Many are main courses that can be paired with a salsd and bread for a complete meal. Even while incorporating Japanese ingredients like ginger, shiso, or edamame, the author gears his recipes directly to the home kitchen, and always offers creative suggestions for substitute ingredients.
