Learn the building blocks of authentic Japanese home cooking with 85 satisfying, soulful, everyday recipes from the beloved BuzzFeed Tasty food personality

"Rie's marvelous recipes taught me new things about familiar ingredients, and reconnected me with the wonderful Japanese home cooking that I have always loved."--Nobu Matsuhisa, chef and owner, Nobu Restaurant Group

A BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR: Los Angeles Times, NPR, Good Housekeeping

Make It Japanese reflects Rie McClenny journey from her birthplace of Japan to the United States and how she learned to cook heartfelt recipes from scratch, often using only ingredients from her local supermarket. Throughout her culinary career, from home cook to star of BuzzFeed Tasty's "Make It Fancy" video series, she has drawn inspiration from the nourishing food her mother cooked throughout her childhood and her extensive knowledge of Japanese cuisine and ingredients that she brought to life in an American kitchen.

In her debut cookbook, Rie shares just how approachable Japanese home cooking can be, no matter where you are. She presents a collection of comforting, homestyle recipes that use just a handful of easy-to-find Japanese ingredients, such as soy sauce, mirin, and sake, and simple, essential cooking techniques, like making rice bowls (donburi), frying the perfect home-style tempura, and gently simmering vegetables and proteins to delicious effect.

Each accompanied by bright, beautiful photography, these delectable recipes include:

- Traditional dishes with a twist: Loaded Vegetable Miso Soup with kale and sweet potatoes, Roasted Cauliflower Goma-ae coated in toasted sesame dressing, umami-packed Easy Soy Sauce Ramen, and Mini Okonomiyaki pancakes
- Can't-miss classics: delectable pork Tonkatsu, ginger-spiked Chicken-Tofu Tsukune, and Oyako Don, rice bowls topped with tender chicken thighs and egg
- Interactive, hands-on recipes for festive gatherings: Chicken Hot Pot with Ponzu perfect for a winter's night, can't stop Gyoza with Crispy Wings, and make-your-own hand rolls for a Temaki Party
- And of course, dessert: the iconic Simple Strawberry Shortcake, irresistible Matcha Snacking Cake, and delightful Citrus Mochi Doughnuts

Whether making dinner on a busy weeknight or hosting a multi-course banquet, Make It Japanese is the ideal resource and perfect introduction to the world of Japanese cuisine, ingredients, and cooking techniques.

Wonderfully written book with beautiful pictures & easy to follow recipes. The author gives definitions of ingredients, how they are used & taste, as well as the American equivalent to purchase when shopping. I’ve excited about this cookbook & have already purchased a second to give as a gift.

Easy to Make Japanese at Home

I’ve been lucky enough to be able to spend some time in Japan and every time I’m there, I discover a new dish or flavor that I love. When I started looking through the pages of Make It Japanese by Rie McClenny, it took me back to some of my favorite Japanese food memories. The great thing about this cookbook is that most of the dishes can be made with ingredients that are very easy to find. And with that in mind, I’ve already made quite a few of them. I especially loved the Roasted Cauliflower Goma-ae, the Shrimp in Chili Sauce and the Easy Soy Sauce Ramen (with a cool spaghetti baking soda hack if you can’t find fresh ramen noodles). With sections on vegetables, meat, seafood, rice, noodles, gatherings and even sweets and breads there’s something for everyone looking to make a culinary trip to Japan. Clarkson Potter provided me with a free copy of this book; the opinions are my own.
