		<description><![CDATA[I bought Home Away from Home: The Tonari Gumi Cookbook on a whim -- based on a write-up in a small local paper, but I can't remember any specifics beyond that.

I don't really buy cookbooks anymore -- most of my inspiration comes from past training and experience, online, and maybe even the odd magazine here and there -- but I was intrigued by the collection of Japanese home-cooking recipes, and happy to support this association of volunteers who care for their elders and work to preserve Japanese culture in Vancouver.

My travels through Japan, fresh out of high school, left their imprint on me.  I traveled, then as now, mostly off the beaten path, and stayed in a few private homes along the way.  Japanese home cooking is quite different from what we eat in restaurants here in North America.  Less deep-frying, less meat and a whole lot less sushi.  But if you're looking for authentic homemade Japanese comfort food, The Tonari Gumi Cookbook is a great addition to your shelf.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://islandvittles.com/2011/11/07/top-5-friday-the-tonari-gumi-cookbook-a-recipe-for-sesame-cookies/' addthis:title='Sesame Cookies from The Tonari Gumi Cookbook ' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>
