Ryori no Idea to Kangaekata

料理のアイデアと考え方
This book is a highly philosophical view into ingredients -- nine highly revered Japanese chefs including Yoshihiro Murata of Kikunoi and Masahiro Kurisu of Tankumakita fame, having conversations about twelve common vegetables and how to approach these ingredients. This is less of a cookbook and more thought-provoking dialogue toward cookery.
