Today I wanted to share one of my favorite Web sites--Yasuko-san's Kitchen consists of posted menus and recipes and essays from a family in Japan. The site is in both Japanese and English. I enjoy it for the little window into Japanese daily culture. Japanese cuisine is among the world's healthiest. High in lean proteins, vegetables, sea products--small in portion size but big on beautiful presentaton.
I'd urge you to explore the flavors of Japan. Look past tempura and sushi (and I say that with some unagi waiting for me in the kitchen...)
Try a new flavor--perhaps hijiki or miso-braised fish.
What's in it for you
Sea vegetables are high in minerals, sardines are a good source of calcium, oily fishes provide omega-3 fatty acids.
Beautifully presented food in small portions is good for the soul, and the waistline
