An inside look into the world of Nobu – recipes from the great chef himself in ‘odd’ cookbook

  • The new cookbook from the acclaimed Japanese chef has beautiful photography but the recipes have one key aspect missing – measurements

This is the oddest cookbook I have ever reviewed. In fact, I don’t even know if it can be called a cookbook because although the recipes list the ingredients and instruc­tions for preparing the dishes, there are no measurements. So, to make spicy ponzu sauce, for instance, you assemble “rice vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil and chilli garlic”, then “combine the ingredients and keep in fridge”.

I’m sure that any skilled cook can, with a little experimentation, make delicious dishes out of these lists of ingredients, but it would have been helpful to have some guid­ance on the amounts.
