fish kitchen morning soup woke
Every morning when I woke up, my mother was already in the kitchen making breakfast. It was always the same: steamed rice, pickled vegetables, grilled fish and miso soup. Each day there was something different in the soup such as tofu or potatoes.
clear cooler dish fall favorite good great rich soup texture ways
One of my favorite ways to use cilantro is in a beautiful clear soup with monkfish and lime. It's a great dish for cooler weather, especially because monkfish is very good in fall and winter. Also, I like the meatiness and rich texture of monkfish.
cube french japanese preparing remains soup tend unfamiliar using
Dashi remains unfamiliar to most French and American cooks, who tend to reach for a bouillon cube to do many of the same things. But dashi is worth preparing and using the way the Japanese do: for poaching fish, as a soup base, and in simmered dishes.
choose easy eat food good noodles soothing soup
I eat soup noodles for comfort. In fact, noodles of any kind. It's a food that is very easy to eat; it's very soothing and comfortable, too. If I could choose any, I'd say buckwheat was my favourite: it has a very good flavour and is healthy, too.
eat home meal salad soup
I always eat a meal at home before I leave for the airport, so I only eat the soup and salad on the plane.
movies rather stay
Cooking and film are completely different - but I'd rather stay in the kitchen than be in movies.
mexico
Have you ever been to Mexico City and haggled with the locals over souvenirs? Well, in Peru, you had to negotiate like that to get the freshest fish at the market.
adds distinct dried food japanese subtle
I can't imagine Japanese food without dashi, a broth made with kelp and dried bonito flakes. It has the aroma of the sea, tinged with a subtle smokiness, and adds a very important, distinct flavor.
matter minutes morning ten tough
I exercise every morning, no matter what. Sometimes it's tough to do right when you get off the plane, but after ten minutes you start sweating, and you always feel better.
best enjoy musician people success whatever whether
I enjoy people who have passion, whether it is as a musician or whatever they do. All people who have success keep it very basic. Try your best. But without passion, you will not have success.
I can live without a computer. My assistant checks my e-mails.
I grew up in the countryside in Saitama prefecture, north of Tokyo.
history
Peru was the Incas; it has 3,000 to 4,000 years of history.
